Portugal 2010 100th anniversary of the Portuguese Republic
100th anniversary of the Portuguese Republic
The First Portuguese Republic spans a complex
16-year period in the history of Portugal,
between the end of the period of constitutional monarchy marked by the 5 October 1910 revolution and
the 28 May 1926 coup d'état.
The latter movement instituted a military dictatorship known
as Ditadura Nacional (national
dictatorship) that would be followed by the corporatist Estado Novo (new state) regime of António de Oliveira Salazar.
The coin commemorates the 100th anniversary of the end of
the constitutional monarchy of King Manuel II and the establishment of the
Portuguese Republic following the revolution of 5 October 1910. The coin’s
outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European Union.
