The "Secret symbols" are small marks at any part of the coin that, we believe, are to identify the "fornaça"(Team maker) or (and) the metal composition. There are more than 100 different marks known.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pilarte Coroado - Ferdinand I (Lisboa) ND (1371-1383) coin from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ferdinand I, who ruled Portugal from 1371 to 1383. This was a period of political instability and conflict, as Portugal was struggling to maintain its independence from neighboring Castile. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of Portuguese history and a testament to the country's resilience and determination.
