Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles, reflecting the cultural influences of the time. The obverse side of the coin depicts King João III in a Gothic-style crown, while the reverse side features the royal coat of arms surrounded by intricate Renaissance-style ornamentation. This blend of styles is a distinct characteristic of Portuguese coinage during this period and adds to the coin's historical and artistic value.
