Figure 14. a) Obverse of an Emanuel cruzado: Trigueiros sub-type 5 initially minted in 1501. The dark colour of this gold coin is caused by a thin layer of silver plating deposited while the coin was bound within the clump of silver coins; b) reverse of an Emanuel cruzado. The absence of ‘ET’ in the reverse legend is a rarity. According to Trigueiros this coin is only the third known specimen. (Cultural Heritage Digitisation Ltd)
