The picture is the coin MCM 5065 (INCM Museum)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Vintem "XX" - Sebastião I ND (1557-1558) coin from Portugal is that it was issued during a time of great change in the country. King Sebastião I, who ruled from 1557 to 1578, was known for his ambitious military campaigns and his efforts to centralize power in the Portuguese monarchy. This coin, which was minted during his reign, features an image of the king on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. Despite its small size, the coin is a significant artifact of Portuguese history and a reminder of the country's rich cultural heritage.
