Portugal Banco de Portugal 1000 Escudos 2.4.1965 Pick 171 PMG Choice About Unc 58. For whatever reason, the 1965 1000 Escudos was an ill-fated banknote. Despite beautiful design elements on both sides, it had a short lifespan of less than than two years in circulation. In 1967, a completely new and different 1000 Escudos was issued, rendering this version obsolete. Dom Denis of the 13th century is portrayed at front. Pinholes are mentioned for accuracy. A curious modern rarity. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/portugal-banco-de-portugal-1000-escudos-241965-pick-171-pmg-choice-about-unc-58/a/4029-28496.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4029 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
