The coins of São Tomé and Príncipe reflect the country’s historical development since independence in 1975 and the adoption of the dobra as its national currency. Modern issues highlight local wildlife, national symbols and cultural elements that reinforce Santomean identity. The transition from the colonial escudo to the dobra marked a major economic reorganization, followed by several monetary reforms. São Tomé and Príncipe’s numismatics is valued for the diversity of its series and its historical connection to the Gulf of Guinea. Please note that coins from the former Portuguese colony of São Tomé and Príncipe belong to the colonial period and are available in the dedicated section: Portugal Coins / Former Portuguese Colonies / São Tomé and Príncipe Coins.
