What coins circulated in Portugal during WWII?

Also, this belongs in the Numismatic Questions subforum.
As Portugal remained neutral during WW2 the coins remained mostly the same as before the war.

​This search gives an answer to which coins were struck during 1939 - 1945, not to which coins circulated during 1939 - 1945.
For instance the 10 centavos (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces4261.html) was struck from 1924 till 1940, so it must have circulated during at least some years of the war. The comparable 20 centavos (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5443.html) was only struck in 1924 and 1925 but I assume these circulated during the war too, at least till 1942 when the new 20 centavos were struck (and maybe they both circulated alongside each other for a while).
For this question you use the "Used in ..." box but most of the time we don't have dates for demonetisation on the older coin sheets.
