Frequently asked questions
What denominations are represented in the Portuguese Guinea banknote catalog?
The Portuguese Guinea catalog section represents four denominations: 50 Escudos, 100 Escudos, 500 Escudos and 1000 Escudos. The 50, 100 and 500 Escudos notes are dated 1971, while the 1000 Escudos note is dated 1964. These denominations and dates describe the banknotes represented in this shop’s catalog, rather than every note issued for Portuguese Guinea.
Which Pick references and periods appear for Portuguese Guinea?
The catalog includes four Pick references: P43a, P44a, P45a and P46a. P43a is the 1964 1000 Escudos note. The 1971 denominations are represented by P44a for 50 Escudos, P45a for 100 Escudos and P46a for 500 Escudos. Collectors can use the printed year, denomination and Pick reference together when organizing this Portuguese Guinea group.
How can I identify a Portuguese Guinea note in this catalog?
Begin by checking the denomination shown on the note and matching it with the catalog title. Then compare the year and Pick reference: the 1964 1000 Escudos note is P43a, while the 1971 notes use P44a, P45a or P46a for 50, 100 and 500 Escudos respectively. The product descriptions state that the banknote corresponds with the accompanying image, which can also assist identification.
What details should collectors record when cataloguing these notes?
For the Portuguese Guinea notes represented here, useful catalogue fields include the country or territory name, denomination in Escudos, printed year, Pick reference and condition designation. The listed records use UNC, meaning uncirculated, as their condition designation. Recording these details helps distinguish the 1964 P43a 1000 Escudos note from the three 1971 denominations and their separate references.
What should I check before buying a Portuguese Guinea banknote from this category?
Before buying, compare the product title with the note shown in the image and confirm the denomination, year, Pick reference and stated condition. This category includes 1964 and 1971 issues, so checking the date is especially useful. The listed notes are described as UNC, and the product descriptions indicate that the banknote corresponds with the image. Review the individual listing for its specific identification.
What notable pattern appears in the Portuguese Guinea listings?
A clear pattern is the concentration of three denominations in 1971: 50 Escudos, 100 Escudos and 500 Escudos, represented by P44a, P45a and P46a. Alongside them is a higher-denomination 1000 Escudos note dated 1964, referenced as P43a. This creates a compact group for collectors comparing denomination progression, dates and consecutive Pick references within the shop’s Portuguese Guinea catalog.
