4 Centavos Coins
The 4 Centavos coins of the Portuguese Republic were issued only in 1917 and 1919, forming part of the first Republican series struck in copper‑nickel. Created under Law 679 of April 21, 1917 and discontinued by Decree‑Law 9718 of May 23, 1924, they represent a short‑lived denomination linked to the economic conditions of the post‑World War I period. With a total mintage of over 15 million pieces across both years, these coins are valued for their metal composition, distinctive design and historical relevance within early Republican numismatics.
