All auctions / Coins & Banknotes / Portugal. 2 ½ Escudos 1951 - NGC MS65


PORTUGAL. Lisbon. 2.5 Escudos. 1951. - Value: 2.5 Escudos. - Year: 1951. - Inscriptions: REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA surrounding a sailing caravel and the date at the bottom; on the reverse, the Portuguese national shield over the armillary sphere with the denomination 2$50. - Grade: MS65 (NGC). Circulation coin of the Portuguese Republic issued during the Estado Novo period, belonging to the well-known maritime-themed commemorative series. The obverse presents a sailing caravel with sails spread, moving over the sea, a direct symbol of Portugal’s naval and exploratory tradition, with a dynamic design and very well balanced. The reverse shows the national shield superimposed on the armillary sphere, a historical element deeply linked to Portuguese identity, with excellent relief definition and very clean fields. The specimen stands out for its exceptional state of preservation, with intense original luster, a very attractive silver tone, and fully sharp details, qualities that fully justify its high MS65 grade and place it among the best-preserved specimens of this issue. Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to be absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside the EU that has a special tax agreement (for example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped by your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
