MACAO. 1 Pataca. 1952.

- Value: 1 Pataca
- Year: 1952
- Inscriptions: Obverse: MACAU · 1 PATACA. Reverse: REPÚBLICA PORTUGUESA · 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 against a background of the armillary sphere, a symbol of the Portuguese discoveries, accompanied by the value and the territory’s denomination. The reverse features 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 region’s multicultural context at that time. Its high grade MS66 denotes an exceptional state of preservation, with original luster and sharp details.

Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to be 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 a special tax agreement (e.g., Canary Islands), it might be halted in your local customs and you might be asked to pay taxes. This is a customs/legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
