Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1932-1951 Portuguese 2.50 Escudos coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Portugal's history. The coin was introduced in 1932, just a year after the establishment of the Estado Novo regime, which was a fascist regime that ruled Portugal from 1933 to 1974. Despite the political upheaval, the coin remained in circulation until 1951, when it was replaced by a new design. This coin is a tangible reminder of Portugal's complex history and the various forces that have shaped the country over time.
