Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Vintem - Manuel I coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and expansion for Portugal. Manuel I, also known as Manuel the Fortunate, was the King of Portugal from 1495 to 1521, and during his reign, Portugal established colonies in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, and became a major maritime power. The coin's design, featuring Manuel I's crowned bust and the Portuguese coat of arms, reflects the country's growing influence and prosperity during this time.
