Portugal, silver coin with rim cord and Orla Nova (New Border) die of King Pedro II, according to the law of June 14, 1688, applied over a Half Cruzado silver coin of King João IV (1640–1656), bearing the 250 Réis crowned countermark (variant type “B”) of King Afonso VI (1656–1667), Portugal and Brazil.

Rim cord and Orla Nova die of King Pedro II (1688) over a Half Cruzado silver coin of King João IV (1640–1656), with border “b” or type II. On the obverse, legend variant No. 1 ✤IOANNES.IIII.D.G.PORTVG.ET.ALG.REX, and on the reverse, legend variant No. 2 ⠂✤⠂IN✤HOC✤SIGNO✤VINCES.

There are many variants not yet classified in the Alberto Gomes catalog; numerous combinations of legends and border types exist, some of considerable rarity, even though they are generally listed in catalogs in a generic way. In my view, this coin represents a combination of some rarity.

The 5 Pounds Sterling 1934 banknote of the Mozambique Company belongs to the final sterling issue produced for circulation within the Company’s concession territory. Printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co., it features the refined colonial design typical of high‑value notes: central allegorical vignette, Company coat of arms, ornate borders and elegant typography.

The perforation “PAGO 5.11.1942” was used for internal administrative settlements and does not affect authenticity. The signatures correspond to the official authorities of the period: António Augusto Pereira Cabral (Governor) and António de Sousa Lara (Managing Administrator).

This note represents an important historical period, marking the final phase of the Company’s financial autonomy before full integration into the Portuguese monetary system.

Price Guide of Portuguese Coins from 1140 to 1640, by Pedro Batalha Reis, published in Lisbon in 1956, is an important illustrated catalogue and price guide dedicated to Portuguese coinage from the foundation of the kingdom through the end of the Iberian Union.

The work presents a systematic listing of Portuguese coin issues from this period together with reference market values. The volume is further enriched with numerous photographic plates of the coins, which greatly assist collectors and researchers in identifying coin types and variations.

Because of its illustrated catalogue format and practical function as a numismatic price guide, the book became a useful reference for collectors interested in medieval and early modern Portuguese coinage.

This copy is bound in an elegant luxury binding, with leather spine and corners, gilt top edge with gold lettering, and it preserves the original printed wrappers, increasing its bibliophilic and collector value.
