hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7293 Posts	Posted 10/12/2022 2:08 pm Today's coin is the 2nd of the 20 centavos I needed to complete a type set. This was 2nd issue. Of all the escudo coins from Portugal the 20 Centavos were ones with the lowest mintages. Some (like this one) are hard to find. The coins were issued in: Silver 1913-1916 Copper/Nickel 1920-1922 Copper (Liberty) 1924-1925 Copper (XX) 1942-1969 Copper (20) 1969-1974 I found this one slabbed. Issuer: Portugal Period: First Republic (1910-1926) Type: Standard circulation coin Years: 1920-1922 Value: 20 Centavos (0.2 PTE) Currency: Escudo (1911-2001) Composition: Copper-nickel Weight: 6 g Diameter: 23 mm Shape: Round Orientation: Medal alignment Demonetized: Yes References: KM571 Mintage (1920): 1,567,000 My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7293 Posts	Posted 10/13/2022 09:23 am This is the final of the 20 centavos. I actually used these, in the 1970's you could still get hard candy for 5 centavos.

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3667 Posts	Posted 10/13/2022 12:47 pm Nice one, hfjacinto. It says something about me when the first thing I thought of when I saw the coin was Dos Equis beer... Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7293 Posts	Posted 10/14/2022 08:29 am Thanks all! I have 2 more coming in. Since I'm mostly done with the type set (well the ones I wanted, the ones on my list will have to come from Portugal) I decided to get a few high grade early coins slabbed and put together a box of 20 (well 17 as the box has 3 Canadian coins). So will see what's available and what I want to add. Looking for MS63 and higher. Most of the early coins from Portugal the top pop is MS64 or 65.

triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9461 Posts	Posted 10/14/2022 9:19 pm Nice addition Hfjacinto. I have just added another coin of that type to my collection too. Have about half the set now. Report this Post to the Staff
Slerk Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 1557 Posts	Posted 10/14/2022 9:26 pm Great coins, hfjacinto. You are moving towards the goal pretty quickly. I wish you good luck in completing your set. Report this Post to the Staff
hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7293 Posts	Posted 10/14/2022 10:07 pm Congrats Triggersmob! Slerk, The whole set of escudo coins is 269 in total. I have maybe around 60 coins. I'm not doing the whole set although there are a few more coins I'll buy if I can find. I want to stick with the early years escudos before the commemorative craze of the 80' s an earlier.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7293 Posts	Posted 10/15/2022 10:23 pm I was bad! Why does ebay have a make offer option? The morale of the story that one should make offers when they want something even if there is no make offer option.

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7293 Posts	Posted 10/19/2022 10:39 am I recently found a seller that had a few coins from Portugal in mint state, so I picked up a few. Today you get a 2$50. Probably one of my favorite amounts in a coin. The coin Issuer: Portugal Period: Second Republic (1926-1974) Type: Standard circulation coin Years: 1932-1951 Value: 2.50 Escudos (2.5 PTE) Currency: Escudo (1911-2001) Composition: Silver (.650) Weight: 3.5 g Diameter: 20.5 mm Thickness: 1.4 mm Shape: Round Orientation: Medal alignment Demonetized: 1969 References: KM580 Mintage (1951): 4,000,000 My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff
