The picture is the coin MCM 5093 (INCM Museum)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tostão - António I (Gorichem - Netherlands) ND (1583-1591) coin from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King António I, who ruled Portugal from 1583 to 1591. This was a period of great political and religious upheaval, as Portugal was in the midst of a succession crisis and was also dealing with the aftermath of the Protestant Reformation. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and interesting piece of numismatic history.
