Pick 172 ran through an unusually large number of signature combinations — at least eleven documented pairings across multiple governorships, spanning António Manuel Pinto Barbosa and later José da Silva Lopes. That breadth reflects how long this design remained in active production and circulation, bridging the late Salazar period, the 1974 Carnation Revolution, and the turbulent monetary adjustments that followed.
Enschedé's Haarlem plant held the contract throughout, a long-standing arrangement Banco de Portugal maintained with the Dutch printer across several high-denomination series.
