It is the coin that illustrates the Alberto Gomes catalogue. It is now (2021) at the NOVO BANCO colectionInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Tostão "-L" – João III (1st type, Lisbon) ND (1521-1540) from Portugal is that it was minted during the reign of King João III, who was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the Portuguese economy. The coin's design features the king's crowned bust on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the country's rich history and cultural heritage. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight of 9.5 grams make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
