Identification note: Exact KM subtype/specs (diameter, weight, edge) not confirmed; catalog number ranges vary by minor design/size changes across 1991–2001 issues | Portugal 5 Escudos brass type (nickel-brass), obverse with national arms and rope knot, reverse with rosette/stained-glass motif over value, dated 1997, minted by INCM Lisbon. Numista identifies this design and date range (1986–2001) as KM# 632, and lists 1997 issues (circulation, BU in sets, and Proof) under the same KM number; NGC also catalogs this type as KM# 632 and includes 1997. Distinguishing attributes match; no mintmark or subtype required to change the KM. Unverified: finish (circulation vs. BU/Proof) and exact edge/measurements, which do not affect the KM number.
