Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dinheiro - Sancho II ND (1223-1248) from Portugal made of Billon (.083 silver) weighing 1.0 g is that it was issued during the reign of King Sancho II, who was known for his efforts to strengthen the Portuguese economy and promote trade. The coin's design features the king's crowned bust on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the country's Christian heritage. Despite its small size and relatively low silver content, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce during its time and remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
