Comment
Decree No. 21.189 of 02MAY1931:Extinguish the island soft currency regime (-25% than the mainland currency). In the period 1910-1931, no coins were issued for the islands of the Azores and Madeira. Not later either.
The commemorative coins issued in 1980 and 1986, which the Krausse and Alberto Gomes catalogs identify as coins for these territories, are in reality continental commemorative coins circulated throughout the Portuguese territory (Mainland + Azores + Madeira). They only celebrate the governmental autonomy of these islands.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Azores' autonomy from Portugal, which was granted in 1980. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the Azores on one side and the image of a traditional Azorean boat on the other. The boat is surrounded by a circle of 10 stars, representing the 10 islands of the Azores archipelago. This coin was circulated in 1995, and it is a unique and collectible piece of numismatic history.
