Circulating coin of the Portuguese Republic issued in the post-war period, during the Estado Novo era. The obverse features an elegant sailing ship with sails unfurled, crossing the sea, a clear reference to Portugal's maritime and exploratory tradition, with a dynamic and well-balanced design. The reverse displays the national shield over the armillary sphere, a historic symbol of the country, with sharp reliefs and correct proportions of the heraldic elements. The specimen stands out for its excellent preservation, with very attractive original luster, a uniform silver tone, and notably clean fields—characteristics that fully justify its high MS65 grade and make it a particularly representative and sought-after piece within 20th-century Portuguese numismatics.

This means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside the EU that has a special tax agreement (for example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs, and they might ask you to pay taxes.
