Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 02/07/2008 11:38 am They are both copper-nickel. The top one is Portuguese, 1 Escudo. (KM 578) The bottom one is Spanish, 5 Pesetas. (KM 786) The design is the 1957 design. The actual year the coin was minted will be in the little star on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Kreuzer Valued Member Spain 58 Posts	Posted 02/09/2008 11:14 am I´m afraid both coins are common. The Spanish one was produced in huge figures. The coin from Portugal is more interesting, but unfortunately, this type was in circulation during many years, so only VF coins start to have a higher value. Report this Post to the Staff
matos New Member Portugal 6 Posts	Posted 03/27/2008 6:02 pm I agree with kreuzer. Although the portuguese escudo is a key date (only 1.9M minted), it is pretty worn. It´s I pretty rough shape around the edges too. The one in my collection is in better shape than this one but I dis pay a bit more for it... Matos Report this Post to the Staff
