The picture is the coin MCM 4944 (INCM Museum)Interesting fact
The Manuel I coin, issued in 1511, was the first Portuguese coin to feature a real (a unit of currency) as its denomination. This coin was a significant innovation in the Portuguese monetary system, as it replaced the earlier system of bartering with foreign currencies and helped establish a standardized system of currency in Portugal.
