A lot of the commemorative coins of Portugal were issued in Nickel and others in silver and some of the later years also in Platinum and Gold.
I have each coin in a flip and I inserted a piece of paper with coin, issuer, grade, composition and mintage. That will hopefully assist in selling them.

The coin is the 1972 50 Escudos and it commemorates the 400th Anniversary of the Portuguese epic poem "Os Lusiadas" Fantastic add!  |

@ hfjacinto, I really enjoy reading your posts and follow your latest updates! I even learnt new things as well. I even bought one silver coin due to this topic! I would happily share it with you if you do not mind. Please keep up the great work in educating us on Portuguese coins and notes.
I am curious as to why they increased size of 25$00 coin? I have two different sizes of the same denomination. Wondering why.

@Carrigna,
Yes, please share it. I get ideas of coins from people posting. It wasn't for Triggermob I wouldn't have gotten the 50 Centavos and Numis Ed found a coin shop that had a few coins that I didn't have.
As to increasing the size of the 25$00, I don't know. I don't think Portugal makes its planchets, maybe the larger planchet was what was available...

Another upgrade, I have thing for weird amounts, I really like the US 3 cent coins and Portugal had a 4 Centavos, so when a BU example appeared I had to have it.   |
