Title
SOMDOR-32A638. Portugese coin of Alfonso V.
Description
English: 16th Portuguese medio real or chinfrao of Alfonso V (1438 - 81) of Portugal. These turn up in some quantity across England: According to Barrie Cook, it was issued in 1472, and demonetized (in Portugal, presumably) in 1485, but seems to have circulated in England as a half-groat and appears in hoards as late as the 1530s. They were probably the coins known as 'dandyprats' - see Barrie Cook's article in BNJ 64, at pp.72-4. It has a hole pierced near the edge at on side suggesting it was used as a pendant. [portugal]
