escudo
Pre-euro Lisbon money
Escudo is a former monetary unit of Portugal and several former Portuguese colonies, replaced by the euro in 2002.
The word comes from Latin for shield, and escudos historically depicted a coat of arms.
Chile and Cape Verde still use currencies called escudo.
The term also refers to a type of gold or silver coin once used across Spain and its territories.
