Features bust of Portugal's King John III.
During his rule, Portuguese possessions were extended in Asia and in the New World through the Portuguese colonization of Brazil.
John III's policy of reinforcing Portugal's bases in India (such as Goa) secured Portugal's monopoly over the spice trade of cloves and nutmeg from the Maluku Islands, as a result of which John III has been called the "Grocer King".
On the eve of his death in 1557, the Portuguese empire spanned almost 1 billion acres (about 4 million square kilometers).
