正面铭文	ALFONS (Translation: Afonso)
背面描述	Central device consisting of a tall cross with an annulet or decorative element at its base, set within a beaded inner circle. The cross divides the inner field into quadrants, with the legend disposed around the periphery in a circular arrangement. The lettering is crude and somewhat irregular, reflecting the rudimentary engraving standards of early Portuguese royal coinage under Afonso I. The entire reverse is enclosed within a beaded outer border, with the design struck on an irregular flan.

附加信息	Afonso Henriques was already in his sixties when this coin was struck — an extraordinary age for a 12th-century warrior king who had spent decades in the saddle. Portugal had only existed as an independent kingdom since 1139, when Afonso declared himself rex following his victory at Ourique, and papal recognition from Alexander III didn't arrive until 1179. These dinheiros were among the earliest coins issued under a specifically Portuguese royal authority, minted while the kingdom was still actively fighting to define its southern borders against the Moors. The hexagram die arrangement is characteristic of Iberian billon coinage influenced by contact with Islamic minting traditions across the frontier.
