Union with Spain (1580-1640): From 1580 to 1640, Portugal was under Spanish rule as part of the Iberian Union.During this period, Spanish coins circulated in Portugal alongside Portuguese coinage, reflecting the union of the two kingdoms. Restoration of Independence (1640): In 1640, Portugal regained its independence from Spain, leading to the restoration of the Portuguese monarchy under King John IV.Portuguese coinage resumed following the restoration, with the reintroduction of traditional Portuguese denominations and designs. Gold Coinage (18th Century): In the 18th century, Portugal became a significant producer of gold coins, particularly during the Brazilian gold rush in the Minas Gerais region.Gold coins, such as the Portuguese dobrão and the moeda, played a crucial role in financing Portugal's economy and colonial ventures. Monetary Reforms (19th Century): In the 19th century, Portugal underwent various monetary reforms aimed at modernizing its currency system and stabilizing the economy.In 1837, Portugal adopted the escudo as its official currency, replacing the real. The escudo was subdivided into 100 centavos.Portuguese coinage during this period included silver and copper coins, with denominations such as the milréis and the centavo. Republic and 20th Century: Following the establishment of the Portuguese Republic in 1910, the country continued to issue coins under the new regime.In 1911, Portugal introduced the Portuguese Republic escudo (escudo da República Portuguesa) as its official currency, replacing the monarchy-era escudo.The Republic-era coinage included denominations such as the escudo, the centavo, and later, the Portuguese real.
