Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the "Double Crosier" coin is that it was issued during the reign of Afonso I of Portugal, who was known for his efforts to consolidate and expand the Portuguese kingdom, including the conquest of several territories in North Africa and the establishment of the Order of Cister, which played a significant role in the development of Portuguese agriculture and religion.
