Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Tostão - João IV (1st series, Lisbon) ND (1641) from Portugal is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was issued in 1641, just a few years after the Portuguese Restoration War, which saw Portugal regain its independence from Spain after a 60-year union. Additionally, this coin was minted during the reign of King João IV, who was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the Portuguese economy and military. The coin's design, which features the king's crowned bust on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other, reflects the country's newfound independence and sense of national pride.
