Cape Verde’s coins reflect the country’s historical development since independence in 1975 and the adoption of the Cape Verde escudo as its national currency. Modern issues highlight cultural elements, historical figures and the archipelago’s Atlantic identity, strengthening its visual and numismatic heritage. The stability of Cape Verde’s monetary system and the quality of its minting make these coins increasingly valued by collectors. Please note that coins from the former Portuguese colony of Cape Verde belong to the colonial period and are available in the dedicated section: Portugal Coins / Former Portuguese Colonies / Cape Verde Coins.
