Comment
The production of this coin was suspended in 1538 and, at the same year, started the production of the "Cruzado Calvário"Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Cruzado "R-L, 8 castles"- João III (3rd type, Lisbon) ND (1537-1538) coin from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change and reform in Portugal. King João III, who ruled from 1521 to 1557, implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the country and increasing its global influence. These reforms included the establishment of a new currency system, which replaced the old system of bartering with gold and silver coins. The Cruzado coin was one of the new coins introduced during this time, and it quickly became a popular trade coin throughout Europe and the Mediterranean region.
