A nice example of this 1986 100 Escudos banknote featuring the famed Portuguese author Fernando Pessoa.

The note itself is a middle grade and still maintains good colour. The corners are a little rounded but no tears or pinholes.

All round a good addition to a broader collection of world currency.

History

Fernando Pessoa, born Fernando António Nogueira Pessôa June 13, 1888 – November 30, 1935), was a Portuguese poet, writer, literary critic, translator, publisher and philosopher, described as one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century and one of the greatest poets in the Portuguese language.
He also wrote in and translated from English and French.
Pessoa was a prolific writer, and not only under his own name, for he dreamed up approximately seventy-five others.
He did not call them pseudonyms because he felt that did not capture their true independent intellectual life and instead called them heteronyms.
These imaginary figures sometimes held unpopular or extreme views.
