| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features the Portuguese colonial arms of São Tomé and Príncipe at center: the national shield of Portugal superimposed upon an armillary sphere, the whole surmounted by a mural crown composed of five towers. The circular legend 'S. TOME·E·PRINCIPE' runs along the upper periphery, with the date '1951' inscribed in the lower field. The design is framed by a beaded border. The composition follows the standard style employed across Portuguese colonial coinage of the Estado Novo period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
São Tomé and Príncipe remained a Portuguese overseas territory through the mid-twentieth century, and its coinage was struck in Lisbon under the Estado Novo regime — a colonial monetary arrangement that persisted until independence in 1975. The 1951 issue came during a period when Portugal was modernizing its overseas currency infrastructure while maintaining firm administrative control over its Atlantic island territories.
Copper-nickel replaced earlier bronze issues across several Portuguese colonial series during this postwar period, driven largely by wartime metal economics that had disrupted pre-existing alloy supplies throughout the empire.
