Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Meia Dobra Pé Terra - Ferdinand I (Lisboa) ND (1367-1369) coin from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand I, who ruled Portugal from 1367 to 1383. During his reign, Portugal was facing a severe economic crisis, and the king was forced to debase the currency to pay for his military campaigns. As a result, the Meia Dobra Pé Terra coin was minted with a lower gold content than previous coins, which led to inflation and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
