| Comments |
Campolide was a civil parish (freguesia) on the western edge of Lisbon, absorbed into the city proper but retaining its own administrative identity well into the twentieth century. During Portugal's acute small-change shortage of the late 1910s, hundreds of local authorities — municipalities, parishes, even individual merchants — issued their own cédulas or emergency scrip to keep commerce moving. This note is one of those hyper-local emissions, authorized at the parish rather than municipal level, which is the more unusual circumstance.
The unit "lixo" is not a recognized monetary denomination — this may reflect a transcription error, a colloquial or ironic local usage, or damaged source data.
