One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King João III of Portugal, who was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the Portuguese economy. The coin's design, featuring a crown with the letter "o" at right, is a nod to the king's efforts to promote the use of the Portuguese language and culture. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight of 3.4 grams make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
