The picture is the coin MCM 50408 (INCM Museum) = AG# Se 75.01Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the São Vicente "P-R" or "R-P" coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Sebastião I of Portugal, who was known for his ambitious military campaigns and his attempt to conquer Morocco. Despite his military endeavors, Sebastião's reign was marked by economic difficulties and political instability, which may have contributed to the limited mintage of this coin. As a result, the São Vicente "P-R" or "R-P" coin is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
