ABSTRACTS - Portugal embarked on a 15-year coinage programme in 1987 with the launch of an official coin programme marking the «Golden Era of the Portuguese Discoveries», to be known since then as the «Coins of Discovery» series, an ambitious programme made of 11 series of 4 coins each issued up to 2001, commemorating Portugal's landmark voyages of maritime exploration and discovery during the 15th and 16th centuries and the Portuguese contribution to other decisive events in world history's Age of Exploration.
This 44-commemorative coins series is unique in the annals of Numismatics. Never before has a country offered such a comprehensive series of coins on one unified theme in order to record and preserve an important aspect of its heritage.
In 2001 an exhibition of all coins struck and issued for general circulation was held in Lisbon, of which this catalogue will serve as a permanent testimony of such unique Coin Programme.

The medieval coinage of Portugal provides useful insight into the history of this fascinating country. Beginning with the emergence of the kingdom under Afonso I Henriques in 1139, the coinage consisted largely of dinheiros in base silver alloy. In the following centuries a wide variety of denominations in silver, gold and copper alloy were issued. An influx of gold from West Africa in the 15th century made the country rich, and this was reflected in an abundant gold currency.

O dinheiro é um documento privilegiado para a história da humanidade. Através dela, é possível documentar a evolução não só económica, mas também política, cultural e tecnológica das sociedades. Percorrendo as suas várias formas e concepções subjacentes, pretende-se explorar a complexa história do dinheiro e particularmente da moeda metálica e do papel-moeda no Ocidente, focando o caso de Portugal e sem esquecer outros desenvolvimentos mundiais e o papel da China.

RESUMO:
[PT] O presente estudo pretende examinar as questões da proveniência, dos circuitos e dos fluxos de cobre que abasteceram as casas monetárias do Estado da Índia e especialmente de Goa entre 1510 e 1640. Procura-se deste modo lançar bases para futuros estudos de científicos de caracterização elementar e de proveniência do cobre amoedado luso-indiano.
[ENG] The present study intends to explore the subjects of the provenance, sources of supply, circuits and flows of copper that reached the Portuguese State of India and supplied its mints, in particular Goa, between 1510 and 1640, thus laying foundations for future scientific studies on the composition and provenance of the copper used in Indo-Portuguese coinage.

ABSTRACTS - The author disputes conclusions of Dagoberto Markl regarding the so-called Book of Hours of D. Manuel (Lisbon, Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga) in the facsimile edition, published in Lisbon in 1983. Draws attention to the fact that one of the coins represented in the border of the illumination of the Adoration of the Magi dates from the early years of the reign of João III, placing the date of the illumination at 1522-26 and establishing the patron of the manuscript as JoãoIII.
Describes and identifies 15th and 16th c. Spanish and Portuguese coins depicted in the illuminated borders of Portuguese manuscripts, ca.1525-1541: the Book of Hours of João III, previously known as that of D. Manuel, by António de Hollanda and workshop (Lisbon, Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga); the Crónica de D. João I by António de Hollanda and workshop (Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional, MS Vit. 25-6); and the Officiale Pontificalium of the Inquisition (Lisboa, Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo). Identifies a formerly unknown gold português of D. João III, and on this basis establishes João III as the patron of the book of hours previously identified with D. Manuel, and dates the manuscript of the Inquisition to 1539-1541.

RESUMO - O autor de A Grande História do Escudo Português revela, nesta série de artigos alusivos ao centenário da criação da unidade monetária portuguesa desde 1911 até 2001, novos documentos inéditos que completam os seus anteriores estudos.
ABSTRACTS - The author of The Great History of the Portuguese Escudo reveals, in this series of articles allusive to the centenary of the creation of the Portuguese monetary unit from 1911 until 2001, new unpublished documents that complete his previous studies.

A medieval pied-fort struck by Fernando I of Portugal, presented in this article, is the second known published medieval pied-fort in Portugal. The analysis to the chemical composition, although made with a portable equipment, using the "precious metals" standard calibration, reveals that the chemical composition of the alloy should have been the same as the one that was used in official coinage. The style of this piece, and the elements used, also point to an official source.

Derrotado no continente, o partido de D. António encontrou na ilha Terceira, durante os anos de 1581-1583, um dos últimos bastiões da resistência contra Filipe II de Espanha. Neste período, os Açores tiveram pela primeira vez moeda cunhada no seu próprio território. Foi então que surgiu o real de Angra, um tesouro da numismática portuguesa. Procuraremos compreender a sua importância histórica e simbólica, assim como a sua inserção na economia e na política de resistência da ilha Terceira.
