<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 2530053, member: 15019&quot;]It&#039;s a contemporary circulating counterfeit. These are actually valuable, especially the ones of gold escudos like yours. Unfortunately it has a hole, but it does not affect the value as much as it would had it been a genuine coin; the hole is likely a test punch and adds to the historical significance.</p><p>I saw one like yours in a 4 escudo denomination sell for over $900 a few years back. It was in much better shape though. But either way this is a nice find that any collector of CC&#039;s would appreciate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
