10 Centavos coin Portugal (copper)

10 Centavos, Portugal (Copper, Issued 1971)

This ten-centavos coin belongs to the old Portuguese escudo system, worth one tenth of an escudo. Struck in a bronze, copper-toned alloy with a plain edge, it is a small, light circulating piece of a currency long since withdrawn following Portugal’s move to the euro.

On the obverse, five small shields (the quinas) are arranged in the form of a cross, echoing the arms of Portugal, encircled by the legend ‘REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA’ and the year.

On the reverse, the denomination ’10 CENTAVOS’ is set above a spray of olive branches bearing fruit, with a dotted border around the raised rim.
