| Aanvullende informatie |
Aristides de Sousa Mendes was the Portuguese consul-general in Bordeaux who, in June 1940, defied direct orders from the Salazar regime and issued thousands of visas to refugees — predominantly Jewish — fleeing the Nazi advance into France. Salazar had him recalled, stripped of his post, and effectively ruined financially. Portugal did not rehabilitate him officially until 1988, nearly four decades after his death in poverty.
This silver issue appeared alongside a base-metal companion piece, the KM#924. The rehabilitation narrative took on renewed political weight in Portugal during the 2010s, leading directly to this commemorative.
