The picture is the coin MCM 4959 (INCM Museum)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the São Vicente - João III (Lisboa) ND (1555-1557) coin from Portugal is that it was minted during the reign of King John III, who was known for his efforts to promote the Portuguese Empire and expand its territories. The coin's design features the king's name and title, as well as the image of Saint Vincent, the patron saint of Lisbon, on the obverse. The reverse side of the coin features the coat of arms of Lisbon, which includes a shield with five quinas (a symbol of the kingdoms of Portugal) and a crown above it. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history, with only a limited number of coins minted during its production run.
