Title: Re: Portuguese hammered coin Post by: Andre on November 09, 2017, 04:06:59 AM How did it end up here?..amazing,that’s from the period when we discovered Brazil,the maritime way to India and macau,king Manuel was a great patron of mariners and expanded the Portuguese empire.Theres an architectural style from that time.I can see the 5 shields we can still see on our flag,very nice.

I have looked at some pics of the coins but they don't look like this one. I found the coin north of Newport ....Byron.
