Dinheiro - Dinis I

Dinis I reorganized Portuguese royal finances aggressively in the early decades of his reign, and the dinheiro was the workhorse denomination that absorbed the consequences — debased repeatedly as the crown extracted seigniorage to fund agrarian reforms, the founding of the University of Lisbon in 1290, and ongoing border disputes with Castile. The billon content of .083 fine reflects a deliberate policy rather than metallurgical accident.

Gomes Di 03 is among the more frequently encountered of the Dionisian issues, suggesting sustained output across multiple minting episodes between his accession and death in 1325.
