matthewvincent Pillar of the Community United States 3486 Posts	Posted 01/29/2014 10:52 am .800 silver - current silver value $10.96. "500th death anniversary of Henry Infante" I would reword this to: "500th Anniversary of the death of Dom Henry Infante" http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11161.html Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 01/29/2014 11:13 am The text around the CoA on the other side is "Talant de bîe faire". That was Henrique's motto, and it means "desire to do well". Christian Report this Post to the Staff

publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 01/30/2014 12:29 am Just archaic Portuguese. Report this Post to the Staff
wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 01/30/2014 10:33 am Thanks publius, really I think so as the google translate can't translate these few words by Latin or Portuguese searches. Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 01/30/2014 11:47 am Same here. ;) But that is the translation you find when you feed a search engine with these "Old Portuguese" words. By the way, 1960 was also when Portugal introduced the Henrique Order of Merit - and that decoration has the same motto.
