The Morabitino coin is a rare and valuable piece, with only a few known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Afonso I of Portugal, also known as Afonso the Great, who ruled from 1139 to 1185. This coin is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Portugal during that time period.
