[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 887877, member: 6229"]While "doodling" through the numismatic environment of the World Wide Web, I discovered a "collection within a collection" generated by the currency moguls of Portugal. Portugal, being a European colonizing influence around the globe, issued a 250 Escudos Coin in 1989 to commemorate its own founding (all photos courtesy of worldcoingallery.com): [URL]http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/coine.php?image=img13/145-650&desc=Portugal%20km650%20250%20Escudos%20(1989)%20Founding%20of%20Portugal%20&query=Portugal%20Founding[/URL] Before issuing this coin in 1989 (and afterwards) Portugal issued commemoratives honoring the discovery of protectorates, islands, countries and States because of its own explorations and those of other world travelers.
