The armillary sphere was an important astronomical and navigational instrument for the Portuguese sailors who ventured into unknown seas during the Age of Discoveries. Portuguese sailors were at the vanguard of European overseas exploration, and their efforts brought wealth and power to the small coastal nation.  The armillary sphere was introduced into the Portuguese flag by Joao III's father, Manuel, and was used to identify its ships as well as international colonies and possessions.
The first European to arrive in the city of Malacca was a Portuguese admiral in 1509AD. Portugual conquered the city in 1511AD

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS, PLEASE NOTE:  Direct international shipping is calculated by eBay at actual cost.
In general, the price for an international package is around .
It may cost a lot less for people in other countries to send the same package to me, but that is my cost from where I am.  There may also be a problem with with eBay combining postage when buying multiple coins.   Postage to most international locations should be the same for one coin or multiple coins.  It doesn't matter how many coins in the shipment, the postage should be pretty much the same as for one coin.  If it is significantly higher, then ask for an invoice with combined postage and I will provide one.
