Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Grave - Ferdinand I (Porto) ND (1370-1383) from Portugal made of Billon (.250 silver) weighing 2.0 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Portugal. Ferdinand I, also known as Ferdinand the Handsome, was the King of Portugal from 1367 until his death in 1383. During his reign, Portugal faced many challenges, including the Black Death, which had a significant impact on the country's population and economy. Despite these challenges, Ferdinand I was able to maintain stability and prosperity in Portugal, and his coinage remains an important part of the country's numismatic history.
