| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylized castle depicted above a representation of the sea, featuring a long and low outer wall whose ends touch or intersect the inner circumference of the coin. The castle design, struck by hand, displays characteristic irregular contours typical of hammered coinage of the mid-15th century Portuguese mint. The field around the castle is largely unadorned, with the overall composition confined within the coin's irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The ceitil was introduced under Afonso V specifically to facilitate trade along the North African coast — Ceuta, conquered by Portugal in 1415, gave the coin its name. These were the lowest denomination in circulation, struck for petty transactions and rapidly worn in use. The Group 7 classification under Magro's typology identifies a specific die treatment of the outer wall, a detail that only became systematically catalogued in the late twentieth century as collectors began distinguishing what earlier references lumped together.
Copper survivorship from this reign is poor. The 1458–1460 window sits within Afonso's active Moroccan campaign period, when mint resources were under pressure.
