five peseta from port. I think, anyway - I have a very similar coin in the 2 1/2 denomination. rather, escudo - how many time do I have to edit this post? forget I said anything.
Yes, 5 escudos from Portugal. Silver (Ag 650), I think. The coin shows a 16c vessel, similar to what Vasco da Gama used. Christian
