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 Macao territory, one of the last European possessions in Asia. On the obverse, the coat of arms of Portugal stands out over a background of an armillary sphere, a symbol of the Portuguese discoveries, accompanied by the denomination and the territory’s name. The reverse presents the official legend of the issuing country and the year of minting, along with the same heraldic shield. This 1 Pataca piece combines European influence with Chinese characters, reflecting the region’s multicultural context at that time. Its high grade MS66 denotes an exceptional condition, with original luster and sharp details.

Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to leave absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside EU that has special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
