| Comments |
The 13th print of Portugal's 1000 Escudo note spans a transitional moment in Portuguese monetary history — the final years before escudo-denominated notes were rendered obsolete by euro adoption in 2002. The sheer volume of signature combinations across four issue dates reflects the revolving door of Banco de Portugal board appointments through the late 1990s, making signature attribution the primary collecting variable for this type. António José Fernandes de Sousa anchors the governor position across all dates except the final 07.11.2000 pair, where Vítor Constâncio — later to serve as ECB Vice-President — makes his sole appearance on this denomination.
