Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Escudos (Trial) 1955 from Angola, made of Silver weighing 5.4g, is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a trial coinage during the transition from the Portuguese colonial era to independence, and only a small number of samples were produced. As a result, it has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists, with its rarity and historical significance contributing to its value and interest.
