Πορτογαλία. Republic. 12 coins 1927/1974 (χωρίς τιμή ασφαλείας)
A curated Portugal minor coin collection presenting a structured sequence of centavos denominations from the mid-twentieth century together with an earlier republican bronze issue, assembled to document Portuguese decimal circulation across several decades of Estado Novo monetary production. The group includes clearly identified Portuguese 20 Centavos dated 1967, 1970, and 1974, a broad run of 10 Centavos dated 1950, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, and 1968, plus an earlier 5 Centavos dated 1927, offering a highly coherent chronological survey of Lisbon mint bronze circulation under twentieth-century Portuguese state coinage.
The 20 Centavos pieces from 1967, 1970, and 1974 display the large Roman numeral “XX” denomination style with laurel and botanical motifs below, a hallmark of Portuguese decimal bronze coinage of the late Estado Novo period. These coins retain the classic Portuguese visual balance between denomination and ornamental vegetal engraving, with well-struck central numerals and dark brown to reddish bronze patina. The three dated examples illustrate continuity of design across the final years before Portugal’s monetary redesigns associated with the Carnation Revolution era, making them especially useful as a dated progression of late-regime circulation output.
The extensive 10 Centavos run forms the core of the collection. The earliest visible example, 1950, is followed by 1958, then nearly continuous representation through 1962, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, and 1968. Each carries the distinctive Roman numeral “X” with the word “Centavos” beneath, framed by agricultural branch motifs characteristic of Portuguese decimal minor denominations. The consistency across these issues highlights the long design stability maintained by Portugal under Estado Novo economic policy, while subtle differences in strike sharpness, alloy tone, and wear offer useful comparative study across nearly two decades of minting.
Reverse views confirm the national emblematic design: the Portuguese shield centered within the armillary-inspired arrangement and the surrounding inscription “República Portuguesa,” clearly visible across nearly all pieces. This reverse remained a defining element of Portuguese republican coin identity throughout the twentieth century and is preserved consistently in this curated group. Several coins show attractive even brown cabinet tone, while others carry localized green oxidation typical of aged bronze storage, particularly among the earlier 1950s pieces.
The 5 Centavos dated 1927 introduces an earlier republican chapter to the collection. This smaller bronze denomination belongs to the First Portuguese Republic period and carries the classic early republican inscription around the central denomination. Its earlier date places it historically closer to Portugal’s interwar coinage reforms, making it an important anchor point that expands the collection beyond the mid-century Estado Novo sequence. The reverse portrait visible on the corresponding holder side reflects the republican symbolic style used before the later standardized Roman numeral series became dominant.
Together, this curated Portugal selection documents nearly fifty years of Portuguese decimal bronze coinage, from the interwar republic through late authoritarian-era circulation. Lisbon mint production, republican shield iconography, Roman numeral denomination design, and chronological denomination continuity are all strongly represented. The concentration of closely spaced dates within the 10 and 20 Centavos series makes the group especially useful for collectors focused on date progression, Iberian numismatics, and twentieth-century Western European circulation coinage.
