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/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).
