Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Ferdinand I of Portugal, who ruled from 1371 to 1383. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the royal coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a common practice during this time period, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely used in coinage throughout Europe. Additionally, the fact that the coin was minted in Lisboa (Lisbon) mint, which was one of the most important mints in Portugal during that time, makes it a valuable piece for collectors.
