Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Meio Real "F" coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand I of Portugal, who was also known as Ferdinand the Handsome. He was a member of the House of Aviz, a powerful royal dynasty that ruled Portugal from the 14th to the 16th century. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and the royal coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the power and authority of the Portuguese monarchy during that time.
