This 1913 silver 50 centavos coin from Portugal captures a pivotal moment in the nation's monetary history, issued during the First Portuguese Republic. Minted in .835 silver, this piece exhibits the refined design standards of early 20th-century Portuguese coinage. The denomination reflects Portugal's pre-decimal currency system, making it historically significant for collectors studying European numismatic evolution. Well-preserved examples remain moderately scarce, particularly in proof or near-mint condition. An essential acquisition for those focused on Iberian coinage or the broader context of European silver issues from the 1910s.
