Portugal 1982 2-5 escudos rev 600.jpg

The specimen shown is from a type struck in Portugal 1963-85. The denomination was terminated in 1985, inflation having rendered it worthless. The handsome caravel obverse design also appears on five escudos (KM 591) and ten escudos (KM 600) of the same period. A few of the early dates are scarce but the remainder, including this one, are common.

Recorded mintage: 45,910,000.

Specification: 3.5 g, copper-nickel, 20 mm diameter, designed by Martins Barata and M. Norte.

Catalog reference: KM 590, Gomes-31.25.
