Title
Medieval Portuguese coin; copper ceitil of Duarte I
Description
English: A corroded copper-alloy medieval Portuguese coin; a ceitil of Duarte I (1433 – 1438) minted in Lisbon. It is 21.3 mm in diameter and 0.7mm thick. It weighs 0.68gm. The coin is very thin and corroded probably because it was found on a beach. See C.M. Almeida do Amaral, Catalogo descritivo das moedas Portuguesas (Lisbon 1977); p.315, nos 958ff. Edward Besly comments that there are few ceitils from English find spots, though the ceitils of Duarte’s successor Afonso V (1438-81) are very common finds all across S Wales.
