The 1942 Banco de Portugal 1000 Escudos (Pick 156) belongs to a series issued during the Salazar regime's carefully managed wartime neutrality — Portugal remained outside the conflict but was deeply entangled in it economically, supplying wolfram to both sides and absorbing significant gold inflows that complicated domestic monetary management throughout the early 1940s.
The "Diário de Notícias #64" designation signals this is a collector's piece reissued or repackaged as part of a newspaper-affiliated numismatic series, common in Portuguese publishing from the 1990s onward. The underlying note itself was printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. in England — an arrangement that continued even after war broke out, given Portugal's neutral status and British alliance obligations.
