Sim, eu falou Português
I was born in Portugal and moved to the US when I was 7, I don't speak as well as I should but I still speak it. Thanks for the information. I'll get back to you when I need a translation which google can't do properly  |

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. Excellent!  |

And the last coin I picked up from Baltimore, this is a 100 Reis which became 10 centavos after the overthrow of the Monarchy (1000 Reis = 1 Escudo = 100 Centavos). I personally liked the 10 Centavos silver design more.   The 100 reis reminds of US coins with the presidents. This coin was only a 2 year issue as the monarchy of Manuel II only lasted a little over 2 years.   Issuer: Portugal King: Manuel II (1908-1910) Type: Standard circulation coin Years: 1909-1910 Value: 100 Reis (100) Currency: Real (decimalized, 1835-1910) Composition: Silver (.835) Weight: 2.5 g Diameter: 20 mm Shape: Round Technique: Milled Orientation: Coin alignment #8593;#8595; Demonetized: Yes References: KM# 548, Gomes# E2 02 Mintage: 6,363,000 (including 1909 coinage) |

Can't believe I had not discovered this thread until now.
Your coins are incredible, so shiny and beautiful and a great history lesson on Portugal's history, economy and its currency.
Playing catch up now - only up to Page 7.
I don't have many Portuguese coins, but years ago remember I had a huge copper 40 Reis from 1847 and some of those 1920s to 1960s escudos.
Now mainly just have modern ones from the 1960s onwards - but do have the large 20, 50, 100 and 200 Escudos of the pre Euro era.
I also have some worn part silver Angolan and Mocambique coins of the 1950s and 1960s.

I have been doing something similar and have ordered a couple of coins and medals from Dutch sellers. All delivered to a family member in The Netherlands whom I will visit in the next couple of weeks. They almost started complaining about me "turning their home into a coin storage facility/post office".  |
