| Additional information |
Portuguese Guinea received its own dedicated bronze coinage in 1933 as part of a broader Salazar-era colonial monetary reorganization that sought to standardize Portuguese Africa under Lisbon's fiscal control. Prior to this series, the territory had relied on issues shared with or imported from other Portuguese colonies. The 1933 date marks the first year of this specific denomination for the colony, making it the type coin for the series.
