Lisbon Mint. Fernando I. NGC EF-45. Obverse: Coat-of-arms, with rosette to left and right; L above; Reverse: Short cross pattee, with pellet in one quarter. An excellent survivor, this gray-toned example presents a rather deep nature to the color and exhibits very little in the way of actual handling."
