Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Meio Escudo - Afonso V (Ceuta) ND (1438-1481) coin from Portugal is that it was minted during the reign of King Afonso V, who was known for his military conquests and his efforts to promote the Portuguese economy. The coin's design features the king's crowned bust on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the power and influence of the Portuguese monarchy during that time.
