SB223-74437r.jpg

This specimen was lot 74437 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2023), where it sold for $240. The catalog description[1] noted, "PORTUGAL. Cotrim, ND (1438-81)-P. Porto Mint. Alfonso V. PCGS VF-30. A wholesome example with attractive deep brown patina." This very debased coin probably wasn't worth much when it was issued by Afonso V.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 1.7-1.9 g, 0.083 fine silver, 20-22 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: Gomes-16.03.
