1952 Portugal Escudo - NGC AU 55 (Scarce Population Low-Tier Specimen)
Product Description
Acquire a scarce middle-grade condition representative of modern Portuguese republican numismatics with this 1952 Portugal Escudo, certified by NGC in AU 55. Struck during the mid-20th century under the Estado Novo regime, these circulating coins saw heavy everyday transaction use, making choice certified survivors remarkably difficult to source in upper grades.

-
Choice About Uncirculated Preservation: Encapsulated and authenticated by NGC, displaying crisp central details on the Portuguese coat of arms and sailing motifs, alongside minimal, honest handling friction.
