Comment
The pict is the coin Nr 4751 from INCM MuseumInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Real Branco - Afonso V (Porto) ND (1438-1481) coin from Portugal is that it was minted during the reign of King Afonso V, who was known for his efforts to promote trade and commerce in Portugal. The coin's Billon composition, which is a mixture of silver and copper, was a common practice during this time period, as it helped to conserve silver while still maintaining the coin's value. Additionally, the coin's weight of 2.8 grams was a standard weight for coins of this denomination during the 15th century.
