5 Escudos Coins 1986–2001

The 5 Escudos coins from 1986 to 2001 correspond to the brass‑nickel system, the final circulating series of this denomination issued by the Portuguese Republic before the adoption of the Euro. Struck in every year from 1986 to 2001, these coins represent the last phase of Portugal’s Escudo currency and reflect the late‑20th‑century numismatic design style. This series was created under Decree 293/86 of September 12th 1986 and was withdrawn from circulation on March 1st 2002 under Decree‑Law 117/2001 of April 17th 2001.
