Comment
The pict is from coin Nr. 4331 from INCM MuseumInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Tornês de Busto - Ferdinand I (Corunha/Spain) ND (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 pure silver or gold. Additionally, the fact that it was minted in Corunha, Spain, rather than in Portugal, suggests that it may have been part of a larger economic or political agreement between the two regions.
