The 5 Escudos coins of the Portuguese Republic were issued in three distinct systems throughout the 20th century, featuring variations in module, design and metal composition. The earliest issues were struck in silver, followed by a long series in copper‑nickel, and finally the brass‑nickel system that remained in circulation until the adoption of the Euro. This category brings together all 5 Escudos series, allowing collectors to follow the historical and technical evolution of this denomination. For detailed information on each system, please refer to the corresponding subcategories.
