Title
Post-Medieval Portuguese coin obv., rev.)
Description
English: One quarter of a Portugese coin, possibly a half Moeda with a value of 2000 Reis, of King John IV (1630-136) or King John V (Ioannes) of Portugal 1706-50. One Moeda or Moedore meaning 'Port. moeda da ouro' or 'money of gold,' is normally worth 4000 reis, this type of coin is also sometimes called a crusado or cruzado because of the cross on the reverse, 1 crusado is worth 400 reis so our half moidore which is worth 2000 reis is 5 crusados.

The mint mark on the reverse is 'B' - one B between each two arms of the cross.
