This specimen was lot 31505 in Heritage sale 3035 (Long Beach, September 2014), where it sold for $1,292.50. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Republic 2-1/2 Escudos 1937 MS66 NGC. Absolutely striking, silvery-gray surfaces are emphasized by mottled russet toning and high rims. The devices, too, are outstanding, fully-struck and accented by an incredible amount of underlying luster that dramatically surrounds the ship's sails. Very appealing and currently the finest known-certified example of this undisputed key date in this series." The specimen shown is from a type struck for [[Portugal]] 1932-51. The handsome caravel was also used on [[Portugal 1951 5 escudos|five]] and [[Portugal 1940 10 escudos|ten escudos]] coins. When the issue of 2½ escudos resumed in 1963, it was a copper-nickel coin.

''Recorded mintage:'' 1,000,000, the key date.

''Specification:'' 3.5 g, .650 fine silver, .073 troy oz ASW, reeded edge, 20.5 mm diameter.
