Comment
The pict is the coin Nr 4894 from INCM MuseumInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Vintém coin is that it was issued during the reign of King João II of Portugal, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Portuguese state. The coin's design, which features the king's name and title, as well as the coat of arms of Portugal, reflects the king's efforts to promote a strong and unified national identity.
