    Lots-o-nice Portugese. I like all the commemoratives they put out in the 60's -70's.

    What Portugal issues these days is a mixed bag so to say - some designs I find very attractive, others are ho-hum or worse. Here for example is a fairly odd €8 piece commemorating Henry the Navigator: http://www.muenzauktion.com/ludwig/pic/artid3709_combined.jpg

    This one is from the Unesco World Heritage series; it shows the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon. http://muenzen-shops.de/witte/pic/x_6291a.jpg

    They also have a neat "coins on coins" series; I like how they adapt the "modern" side (with the country name, face value etc.) to the style of the historic piece. Started in 2009 with this 13c "morabitino" design: http://www.honscha.de/bilder/15p092.jpg, followed by this 16c "justo": http://www.honscha.de/bilder/5p10.jpg

    Agreed. Maybe the designer was paid by the hour, and the mint did not want to spend much. :D

    Here's one I don't believe anyone has posted. It's a 1775 4 escudos (half Joe). This type was well known in colonial America. The second slide has some coppers that have been posted, though I don't think the silver 160 reis has. BTW, I believe that the Portuguese system of reis helped inspire Gouverneur Morris' proposed coinage system for the United States.
