One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Tostão "L-V" - Manuel I (Lisbon) ND (1504-1521) from Portugal is that it features a unique design element known as the "L-V" mintmark, which is a combination of the letters "L" and "V" that were used to indicate the coin's minting location in Lisbon. This mintmark was used during the reign of King Manuel I and is a distinctive feature of coins from this period.
