Nightwing Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 My favorite of the two is the 20. The image of the lady looks very realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlock Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 the first one is not a banknote... it´s a notegeld... or as we say it here... CÉDULA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted December 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I have three more, two from 1920 - 50 Centavos and 1 Escudo, both in XF that are on the way, then Orlock will have not a doubt they are banknotes:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlock Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I'm really sorry to say that in the portuguese catalog for coins and banknotes that the 20 Centavos "banknote" is classified as a notegeld... you don´t see the "BANCO DE PORTUGAL" denomination anywhere, but instead you see the CASA DA MOEDA. That one is an emergency note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 In the early years of the Portuguese Republic Banco De Portugal produced some of the loveliest banknotes printed in Europe during that time. This 50 Centavos from 1920 was the lowest denomination printed for the Bank, and not the mint. There was a necessity for small change notes created by a shortage of coins, and inflation. Here a lovely young woman holds a model ship, emblematic of Portugal's seafaring history. The feminine vignette on the reverse is emblematic of justice, with her scales. This note is P-112b.

Scottishmoney Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Very colourful designs, coupled with lovely feminine vignettes were the order of the day, the vignette on the front of the note is emblematic of learning and knowledge whilst the reverse is emblematic of art and culture with a young lady holding a lyre. This note is P-113a. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josemartins Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Congratulations Dave! ...now you're going for the contemporary 2.5, 20 and 50 Escudos or for colonial issues?: Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Congratulations Dave! ...now you're going for the contemporary 2.5, 20 and 50 Escudos or for colonial issues?: Jose Don't tempt me, at least some of the colonial issues from Mozambique etc. are a bit less pricey than the homeland issues from the same era. Those early BWC notes are hard to find in nice condition, but oh so lovely printings. BWC printed most of the currency for Spain and Portugal during that time and came out with amazing designs that were remarkably well printed.
