25 Escudos 1981 Portugal (Regional Autonomy) [solved]

Hi,
I came across this coin that is listed under Portugal.

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11163.html

The KM of the coin doesn't follow that of Portugal.
Shouldn't this Madeira coin and the same one in silver, be under Madeira?

Thanks,
Stavros

Hi!  

Despite this coin be inside "Madeira" in Krause and other catalogues, Madeira is just a region of Portugal and the Escudo coins with the lettering "Região Autónoma da Madeira" or simply "Madeira" are just commemorative coins minted by Portuguese government with circulation in all Portuguese territory. Madeira can't mint money. The same for Azores.

Thanks for the reply!
I get your point! But it really felt weird with a different KM than that the other coins had!

Now I´ve got another question! What are those coins listed under Madeira and Azores then? Were those minted only for those territories or is that a confusion of Krause catalogues too?

Those other coins (not the Escudo coins) listed under Madeira and Azores were minted and had circulated only in those regions.

That clearly answers my questions!

Thanks again! :)
