Up for sale is the highly sought-after 2000 Portugal 200 Escudos Silver Proof Set, Series XI: New Frontiers. As the 11th and final installment in Portugal’s historic Descobrimentos Portugueses (Portuguese Discoveries) commemorative coin program, this specific set holds immense historical and numismatic significance. It was minted by the Portuguese State Mint (INCM) just before the nation completely phased out the Escudo currency for the Euro. This premium collection features four intricately designed 925/1000 (sterling) silver coins representing Labrador Land, Corte-Real Land, Florida Land, and Fernão de Magalhães. Each individual specimen contains 24.5 grams of pure fine silver content, bringing the entire set’s total to an impressive 98 grams of pure silver. With a strict, highly restricted mintage limit of only 10,000 silver proof sets worldwide, complete surviving collections are incredibly difficult to find intact on the secondary market. This specific set is in pristine, collector-grade condition and is 100% complete. The four silver proof coins remain perfectly untouched inside their original, secure clear protective capsules, showing magnificent mirrored fields and sharp frosted details with zero harsh environmental tarnish. It comes housed in its original, vibrant red velvet presentation display box and includes the official paper Certificate of Guarantee with the matching serial number. Offers are welcome-don’t miss this opportunity to add a crowning final series piece to your collection!
