Rare Variant of the 1926 50 Centavos, Reuse of 1925 50 Centavos Dies, with an Open-Stem “9” and a Foot Perfectly Aligned with the “I” of “Simões”. This study presents an extremely rare die variant of the 1926 50 centavos, until now practically unknown or overlooked in Portuguese numismatics. This variant is defined by a very specific combination of technical features: the numeral “9” has an open stem, its foot is perfectly aligned with the “I” of “Simões”, and there is clear evidence of the reuse of dies originally employed in the minting of the 1925 50 centavos, later adapted for the 1926 issue. The association of these elements, traditionally attributed to 1925 coins, appears unexpectedly on specimens dated 1926, constituting a variant virtually absent from numismatic literature. Nevertheless, its existence is now undeniable, supported by the observation of authentic specimens over several decades.

Silver Half Cruzado coin of King João IV (1640–1656), bearing the inscription “INHO” instead of “IN.HOC”. Legend: ✤IOANNES IIII DG REX PORTVGALIE / ✤INHO.SIGNO.VINCES. World Coins Portugal KM#49. The reverse legend clearly shows “INHO.SIGNO” instead of “IN.HOC.SIGNO”, a variety which, in my opinion, is significantly undervalued in the Alberto Gomes catalogue given its rarity, as this variant seldom appears on the numismatic market. This coin was ordered to be struck by Royal Decree of June 8, 1643, during the reign of King João IV, known as “The Restorer”, the twenty-second King of Portugal. He was born in 1604 and reigned from 1640 until his death in 1656. He was married to Dona Luísa Francisca de Gusmão.
