Title
Medieval Portuguese Coin
Description
English: Silver meio real or chinfraõ of Afonso V of Portugal (1438-81).

Edward Besley saw an image of this coin and comments' Moot point as to which is the obverse, but following my reference: obv + ALFONSVS QVINTI REGIS P; five shields ('quinas') rev + ALFONSVS QVINTI REGIS PO; letter A surmounted by a large crown; annulets either side (the more usual reverse legends appears to be a version of ADIVTORIVM NOSTRVM IN NOMIN)

The nearest reference I can get is that it is similar to C.M. Almeida do Amaral, Catalogo descritivo das moedas Portuguesas (Lisbon 1977), p.335, nos. 1009/1011. (No exact equivalent in the group in the Lisbon Museum: A.d.A. 1008-1015 - perhaps better to quote this range)
