The coins of King Afonso V, known as “the African”, reflect a reign marked by military campaigns in North Africa, the strengthening of royal authority and the consolidation of the Avis Dynasty. He ruled from 1438 to 1481, promoting territorial expansion and supporting economic development during a period of increasing maritime activity. His coinage is diverse, including copper ceitils, black half reals, white reals, cotrins, espadins, leais, chinfrões and real grosso issues, illustrating the technical and artistic evolution of Portuguese numismatics in the 15th century. These coins are highly valued by collectors for their variety, symbolism and historical significance.
