Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Vintém "O-O" coin is that it was issued during the reign of King João III of Portugal, who was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Portuguese state. The coin's design, which features the king's crowned monogram "O-O" on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other, reflects the king's efforts to promote a strong and unified national identity.
