| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the Portuguese royal arms, composed of five escutcheons arranged in a quincunx pattern, each escutcheon charged with five roundels (besants) representing the five Moorish kings defeated at the Battle of Ourique. The arms are set within a plain border, surrounded by a circular legend reading PORTUGALIÆ ET ALG (or variant), struck on an irregular flan characteristic of hammered coinage of the period. The style is consistent with mid-16th-century Portuguese heraldic die work. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sebastião I came to the throne at age three in 1557, and the regency coinage issued in his name reflects the administrative continuity of a kingdom governed largely by his grandmother Catherine of Austria and later Cardinal Henrique. This half vintém belongs to a reign that ended catastrophically at the Battle of Alcácer Quibir in 1578, where Sebastião and a significant portion of the Portuguese nobility were killed or captured in Morocco — a disaster that extinguished the Aviz dynasty and opened Portugal to Spanish annexation two years later.
The resulting dynastic vacuum produced the Iberian Union under Philip II of Spain in 1580, after which Sebastião's coinage types were retired.
