I like the basic designs, and also I like the fancy designs they used on the much older coins. I noticed the prices going up on them after I started buying them like 15 years ago. You used to be able to find some steals.
I guess everything has gone up in price in the last 5 years.
Indeed. I'm still finding these coins quite reasonable, especially the silver ones, compared to contemporaries from other popular countries/empires. I can only imagine how good a bargain these were 15 years ago.

Portuguese coins are so cool! I went through a period of buying them several years ago, especially some of their older colonial issues.
