Identification note: KM subtype and exact specs by year are not fully confirmed from memory; Portugal had both large Cu-Ni and later small brass 10 Escudos—this coin appears to be the earlier Cu-Ni large type despite the 1988 date. | Evidence matches the nickel-brass small type (not the earlier large Cu–Ni): obverse with Portuguese shield in rectangle and rope knot; reverse with the “stained glass window” motif; date 1988; Lisbon mint (incm); typical specs 23.5 mm, 7.5 g, reeded.
