Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinheiro - Dinis I ND (1279-1325) from Portugal made of Billon (.083 silver) weighing 1.0 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of King Dinis I, who was known for his efforts to promote economic growth and trade in Portugal. The coin's design features the king's name and title on one side, and a cross on the other, which was a common motif on coins of that time period. Despite its small size and relatively low silver content, the coin was widely accepted and used in transactions throughout the country, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
