€120.00

PORTUGUESE MALACA - D. JOAO III ( 1521-1557 ) - (Possibly, a Meio (1/2) Bastardo - Calaim, considering its size and weight. Looks like a larger than normal Soldo). Supposedly scarcer than the Regular Soldo. Issued during the Reign of D. Joao III in molds from Lisbon -24 m/m -4.83 grams. Not listed in Alberto Gomes Catalog and in my opinion Almost Uncirculated condition.
