The coins of King Afonso II, the third king of Portugal, reflect a period of growing administrative and legal consolidation. He ruled from 1211 to 1223, continuing the monetary system established by his predecessors, with the minting of silver dinheiros and half‑dinheiros in bolhão alloy. Although his reign was marked by internal disputes with the nobility and the Church, coin circulation remained stable, featuring simple medieval designs typical of early Portuguese numismatics. The coinage of Afonso II is essential for understanding the early development of Portuguese currency and remains valued by collectors for its rarity and historical significance.
