Commemorative 100 Escudos Coins (100$00)
The commemorative 100 Escudos coins form one of the most representative groups of Portuguese commemorative coinage, comprising twenty three issues minted between 1977 and 1999 in silver, cupronickel and bimetallic format. These include the 1977 silver coin dedicated to the 25 April Revolution, nineteen cupronickel issues featuring the first two series of the Portuguese Discoveries, and three bimetallic coins marking institutional and cultural themes, including the 1999 UNICEF coin known for the widely publicised “PORTUGUSA” error variety. These issues reflect the thematic, artistic and technical diversity of the Portuguese Mint during the final decades of the Escudo, presenting pieces that commemorate national anniversaries, historical figures and international events. This category gathers all commemorative 100 Escudos coins issued with normal finish, allowing collectors to easily identify and acquire any of these emblematic pieces.
