More information

Portugal coins: reis, escudos and classic Portuguese denominations

Portuguese coinage covers several major currency periods, which is why you will see denominations like reis, escudos and centavos across different dates. The real (reis) was used for centuries, before Portugal introduced the escudo in 1911, with 1 escudo equal to 1,000 reis, and later moved to the euro in 2002. Across these changes, the same denomination can appear in different styles, with shifting designs and metal types depending on the issue and year. In this collection, you will find a range of Portuguese coins from these pre-euro periods, so it is worth comparing denomination, date, design details and condition when choosing.
