Comment
The pict is the coin Nr.5069 from INCM MuseumInteresting fact
The coat of arms on the reverse side of the coin features a shield with the insignia of the Order of Christ, which was a powerful religious and military order in Portugal during the 16th century. The Order of Christ played a significant role in the country's history, particularly during the Age of Discoveries, and its insignia appears on many Portuguese coins from this period.
