One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Tostão "D-G" - Manuel I (Lisbon) ND (1504-1521) from Portugal is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "D-G" (which stand for "Dei Gratia," meaning "By the Grace of God") placed above the king's crown on the obverse side of the coin. This distinctive feature was added to the coin's design during Manuel I's reign, and it became a hallmark of Portuguese coins minted during this period.
