Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Real Branco - Ferdinand I (Zamora, Spain) ND (1369-1371) coin from Portugal is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper, but contains only 25% silver. This makes it a relatively rare coin, as most coins from this time period were made of a higher percentage of silver or other precious metals. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in Zamora, Spain, rather than in Portugal, where Ferdinand I ruled, adds to its historical significance and uniqueness.
