Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 07/07/2014 11:49 am But one thing for sure, the date's far from 1753. These were minted 1932-1951. Also, it's .650 silver. Report this Post to the Staff

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 07/07/2014 12:46 pm Portugal was a kingdom till 1910, then it became a republic. This is the right coin : 2,5 escudos KM# 580 from 1932 till 1951 The date is just below the ship and seems to be 1932? 0.650 silver 3,5 grams 20.41mm (your coin is well worn, thus the weight is less) http://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/...4-duid-18162 Edited by Petrus 07/07/2014 2:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 07/07/2014 5:08 pm Nelson, Are you sure of the 1950? I seem to see the 19 and then something with a round top. That can only be a 3 Or am I wrong? Can you post a bigger picture of the date? Report this Post to the Staff
