| Additional information |
Portuguese Guinea's colonial coinage was administered through the Junta da Moeda in Lisbon, and this 1952 issue was struck at the Casa da Moeda during a period when Portugal's overseas territories were officially reclassified as "provinces" under Salazar's Estado Novo — a deliberate constitutional maneuver designed to insulate the empire from post-war decolonization pressure at the United Nations.
