The Tostão - Filipe I ND (1588-1598) coin from Portugal features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted during the reign of King Philip I (also known as Philip II of Spain). This small cross is not found on other coins from the same era, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
