The Cruzado - Manuel I (Lisboa) ND (1497-1521) coin from Portugal made of Gold (.9896) weighing 3.5 g is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the Renaissance period, and its design features the image of King Manuel I, who was known for his strong leadership and naval expeditions that helped establish Portugal as a major seafaring power.
