| Additional information |
The Imprensa Nacional – Casa da Moeda struck pattern pieces in the late 1970s and early 1980s as Portugal worked through a period of intense monetary instability following the 1974 Carnation Revolution. Circulating coinage designs were revisited repeatedly as the new republic struggled to stabilize both its economy and its symbolic public identity. Most patterns from this period never advanced to circulation, leaving them in a peculiar documentary limbo — official enough to be struck by the national mint, obscure enough to be absent from most mainstream references.
