I'm still a rookie on this coin collecting thing but I found this coin on a box among some others that belonged to my grandfather and I'm having some trouble identifying the year on which it was made. I think that it is somehow similar to this one https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces35884.html and I would like somebody's opinion to confirm it.

The member Monge know a lot about these coins. Great member. I hope there is enough letters there. He gave me one has a gift in our swap. And had it fully ID.

I agree, Monge is the go to guy for this question.

Confirmed!
It is "1 Ceitil" from Afonso V, by Grace of God, King of Portugal and Algarve, Lord of Ceuta.
