One interesting fact about the Espadim or ½ Justo- João II ND (1489-1495) coin from Portugal is that it was minted during the reign of King John II, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Portuguese state. The coin's design features the king's crowned bust on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the country's unity and strength under his rule.
