10 Escudos

Portugal's 1936 coinage was produced under the Estado Novo regime, consolidated after Salazar's effective seizure of economic control in 1932. The 10 Escudos series of this period was among the first silver coinage issued under fully stabilized escudo policy following years of monetary turbulence tied to the unstable First Republic. Mintages were relatively modest, and examples that avoided the melting pot during later silver drives tend to show honest circulation wear rather than the cleaning damage that plagues so many survivors.

KM#67 is the single-year type for this denomination in .835 silver before wartime pressures eventually reshaped Portuguese alloy decisions in the 1940s.
