Description from the seller
MACAO. 1 Pataca. 1952.
- Value: 1 Pataca
- Year: 1952
- Inscriptions: Obverse: MACAU · 1 PATACA. Reverse: PORTUGUESE REPUBLIC · 1952
- Grade: MS66 (NGC)
Portuguese colonial coin minted for the territory of Macao, one of the last European possessions in Asia. On the obverse, the coat of arms of Portugal stands out on a background of the armillary sphere, a symbol of Portuguese discoveries, accompanied by the value and the territory’s denomination. The reverse shows the issuing country’s official legend and the year of minting, together with the same heraldic shield. This 1 Pataca piece combines European influence with Chinese characters, reflecting the multicultural context of the region in that era. Its high grade MS66 denotes an exceptional state of conservation, with original luster and sharp details.
