Comment
The picture is the coin MCM 4286 (INCM Museum)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Forte - Ferdinand I (Lisboa) ND (1367-1369) from Portugal is that it was minted during the reign of King Ferdinand I, also known as Ferdinand the Handsome, who ruled Portugal from 1367 to 1383. He was known for his diplomatic skills and his efforts to strengthen the Portuguese economy, which led to the introduction of a new coinage system, including the Forte coin.
