Portuguese Mint Emergency Notes
The emergency notes issued by the Portuguese Mint between 1917 and 1922 were created to address severe coin shortages during World War I and the economic instability of the First Republic, showing significant variation in denominations, signatures and formats. These official issues are highly sought after by collectors for their rarity, historical context and importance in the evolution of Portuguese paper‑money.
