A medieval copper alloy ceitil of Afonso V (AD 1438-1481) of Portugal. A ceitil is one-sixth of a real. The coin is damaged around the edge, making parts of the inscription illegible. The use of fleurs-de-lys around the shield is most commonly found on the coins of Afonso V. The name ceitil is taken from Ceuta, the fortress that fell to the Portugese in 1415. This event marked the dawn of Portugese expansion in Africa. Grierson (1991) illustrates a similar ceitil of Afonso V on page 191, no.419.

Copper alloy ceitil of Alfonso V (1438-1481), John II (1481-1495) or Manuel I (1495-1521) of Portugal, missing its legends but likely to be the Lisbon mint. A ceitil is one-sixth of a real. The obverse depicts a three-towered castle above rows of waves and the reverse a square-topped shield bearing the arms of Portugal, with worn annulets above and either side of the shield which suggests it is more likely a ceitil of John II or Manuel I. Grierson (1991) illustrates a similar ceitil of Alfonso V of Portugal, minted in Lisbon, on page 191, Fig.419.
