NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5185 Posts	Posted 02/14/2022 5:12 pm @hfjacinto, how about expanding your Portugal set with coins from colonial possessions like Macao and Sao Tome & Principe? Report this Post to the Staff

Ed, I've never been to those countries so I don't have any attachment, also there are over 20 pages of coins on Numista for Portugal, I'm only a few coins in, I could be collecting a different coin from Portugal until I'm dead and wouldn't have a complete type set.

Its not that I'm adverse to get a REAL or Dinheiro but those aren't really inexpensive. If I can find one at a good price I will get one.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 02/15/2022 11:39 am As Numis Ed "bullied" me into getting a 1000 Escudo coin, here we go. Today's coins is 1,000 Escudos from 1999 which commemorates 1000 years of Atlantic sailing and the 1998 Worlds (fair) Expo in Lisbon. Elizabeth and I attended the 1998 Expo (we were in our 20's , I want to be in my 20's again ). And while I have lots of pictures, they are all on film... The youngens among us may ask what is this film you speak of? Before your phone could take pictures, count your steps, warn you about Covid, do CPR and also read your mind, the only way to take a picture was to use this tool called a camera. The camera loaded this silver based emulsion (film) into itself and then you composed the picture (like manually) and then pressed the shutter. And you would wait and wait until the roll was complete and processed. Only until the picture was printed you wouldn't know what you had. Many times the pictures were blurry (like now but with no social media to post them on, the blurry photos only went to an album not CCF or FaceBook or Instagram), only you knew you took bad pictures unlike today. Sometimes they looked like this: Other times not. But I digress, here is the coin. From some research I did the 1,000 Escudos coins did circulate, I don't know how much as I never saw 1 in circulation. Issuer: Portugal Period: Third Republic (1974-date) Type: Circulating commemorative coin Year: 1999 Value: 1000 Escudos (1000 PTE) Currency: Escudo (1911-2001) Composition: Silver (.500) Weight: 27 g Diameter: 40 mm Shape: Round Technique: Milled Orientation: Coin alignment #8593;#8595; Demonetized: Yes References: KM# 721 Mintage: 500,000 My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Edited by hfjacinto 02/15/2022 11:40 am Report this Post to the Staff
