Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tostão - António I (Big disk, Angra) ND (1582) coin from Portugal is that it was minted during the reign of King António I, who was the first king of Portugal to issue coins with his own name and title. This coin, which features a large disk and was minted in Angra, is a rare and valuable example of this historical era in Portuguese numismatics.
