Definition

• A silver coin of Portugal, which appeared during the reign of John II (1481-1495), and was struck extensively at Lisbon and Porto. It had a value of one hundred Reis, and multiples exist. Under John V (1706-1750) its nominal value was eighty Reis, but this appears to have been only temporary. This is the coin frequently referred to as the Teston
