I admit to being curious. A hard to find but not cheap set?
Commemorative? I didn't say it was cheap ;) I think you'll be surprised, I only found about these a few months ago so I've been looking for the set of 4 coins (hint) |

One final hint and then we all have to wait.
They were issued before the Carnation Revolution.

My guess is the 1898 "Discovery of India" set.

The 11 discoveries sets are well worth their cost. Great coins. The 4 metals sets were a new idea at the time. But it can not be those, too recent.
The 1898 set is only 3 coins.
Before 1974, escudos and a set. There are the 50 escudos ones but the full set are 5 coins.
Perhaps the 1 escudo, 50, 20 and 10 centavos in silver?
No you must have known about those. I will have to wait and see.

Well, we might have to wait longer as the coins shipped to me iare still In Germany. With a red warning. I sent a message to DHL to try and figure out what's wrong.

It will be a little longer, the coins went back to the shop. They will reship again today. Looks like a DHL error.

If they are gold or even silver you may have difficulty getting them shipped to the USA. I gave up on that when I searched for shippers. Heard from some dealers that they do not sell precious metal coins to buyers there. Too much trouble.
