vb3347 Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 05/04/2011 01:21 am I have a Portuguese 100 Escudos .65 silver proof commemorating the April 1974 revolution. My Krause lists the weight at 18 g. while the proof booklet says 15 g... The coin is sealed and I really don't want to take it out and weigh it. So I would appreciate if someone can tell me exactly because I keep records of the ASW on all my coins. Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

vb3347 Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 05/04/2011 3:02 pm Thanks, I hope it's 18 g myself ()but hopefully someone who has the coin can chime in also. They did mint 950,000 for circulation Report this Post to the Staff
brizidaviana New Member Portugal 7 Posts	Posted 05/07/2011 12:08 am Hello, This information is wrong, the weight of this coin is of 15g. I correct the information of this coin in the numista site and put more information. But I can not correted this information "100 escudos (100 PTE)" because 100 Escudos don't is 100 PTE, the correct is 100 Esc (100 PTE is for Peseta (Spain)). Report this Post to the Staff
brizidaviana New Member Portugal 7 Posts	Posted 05/07/2011 12:21 am Other thing this coin is included in one colection of two coins. The value face of the other coin is 250 Escudos Report this Post to the Staff

Well, don't try and change it, because "PTE" is actually right. When you use "Esc" or "$" for the escudo, that is the common local abbreviation or symbol. For the Spanish peseta it would be "Pta" (plural Ptas). This "PTE" however is, or was, the currency code for the Portuguese Escudo - just as "USD" is the code for the United States Dollar for example. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217 Those codes may not be in common use, but there is no need to fix them. ;) Christian Edited by chrisild 05/08/2011 09:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
