1 Portuguese Escudo coin (large type)

1 Portuguese Escudo (Large Type, Issued 1982)

The one-escudo coin was a base denomination of Portugal’s escudo currency, retired when the country adopted the euro in 2002. This larger-module type is struck in a nickel-brass alloy with a warm golden colour and a plain edge, giving it a solid feel for a low-value circulating coin.

On the obverse, the shield of the Portuguese coat of arms is shown at the centre — the seven castles and the five inner escutcheons with their bezants — encircled by the legend ‘REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA’ and the year 1982.

On the reverse, a large numeral 1 dominates the field above the word ‘ESCUDO’, with a plain field and raised rim framing the design.
