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.
Issued in a set with the Esc 25 coin.

This coin is a great collector's item for anyone interested in numismatics or the history of Portugal and its regions.
