Anyone know this coin

Hi
I have been given a coin in exchange for money owed to me.

If anyone can help identify and give me idea of value I would greatly appreciate it.

I was told that coin is in mint? condition ?

It was in a plastic cover and weighed 30.8 grams - is this right and real ?

I was told that the value is higher if not removed from cover.

Please see pics and any comments would be appreciated.

Battling to upload pics. So I will try to describe:

Gold coin ILHAS CANA'RIAS REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA  1479  1336  1989

s.machhdo  inscribed on side of picture of ship seemingly approaching a monster (giant squid).


Any advice will be appreciated

Kind Regards
Niekie

Are you referring to either of these two coins? The first one is a silver coin, which is of proof quality.

The second one is essentially the same coin as the first one, except that it is made of cupronickel (Cu-Ni).

I tried checking up your coin on the internet, but there is no such coin made of gold, only the two listed above.

Found a listing from Krause SCoWC 1901-2000: (Page 1760 if anyone has a printed copy)
KM#646b
100 Escudos
24.0000 g 0.9170 Gold
Subject: Discovery of the Canary Islands
Obv: Shield with supporters above value
Rev: Ship
Date: 1989 Proof
Mintage: 2981
Value: $1350

And the NGC listing:

Hi to Mr Glorkar

Thank you for your advise, the previous person obviously mistook my question as to one single coin as opposed to two.

Your information has been most helpful.

I will try and upload image as soon as I can figure out how to minimize mb of image

I have noticed that there is no image available.

Once again thank you for your input.

One more question ?   

How much do these plastic covers weigh?

And should I remove coin from cover or leave sealed intact?


Kind regards
Niekie

Hope this more helpful - I will try and load reverse

Thank you

Managed to get other side of same coin.

Please advise if I should take coin out and check if gold or not.

I have been advised not to ?

Once again weight as is in cover 30.8 grms

Thank you
Niekie

P.S. no disrespect to posts that negatively apply to the coin...All info is good

I would take the coin to a reputed dealer to check. It's either gold in which case it's very expensive or a replica worth nothing.

It might be the light, but (no offense), it doesn't look like gold...

especially with proof/prooflike coins, it's harder to tell.

and, I'm not a expert in this, just a opinion.
