Overview

Historical significance

Issued during the Portuguese Third Republic (Estado Novo era), these bronze coins were common circulation currency. The design reflects traditional Portuguese heraldry used for centuries to represent the nation's identity.

Estimated value

$0.10 - $0.50 USD (in its current heavily corroded condition)

Care & preservation

Do not attempt to scrape or chemically clean the green verdigris, as this will permanently damage the metal surface and remove the patina. Store in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent further oxidation. Use PVC-free coin holders for long-term storage.
