The rev pic certainly looks like the three towers seen on Spanish/Portuguese coins. I'm not seeing an exact match in my Celmente y Cayon, but it gotta be there somewhere. @nautilator, can you please give us the diameter and weight? Thx.

The link below should get you to the Portugal page which covers Alfonso V. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/in...y&te=y&cat=y Report this Post to the Staff
