The escudo was the currency of São Tomé and Príncipe between 1914 and 1977. It was equivalent to the Portuguese escudo and subdivided into 100 centavos. The escudo replaced the real at a rate of 1000 réis = 1 escudo.

Initially, only banknotes were issued in the name of São Tomé and Príncipe and the colony used Portuguese coins. Only in 1929 were coins issued for the colony.

The escudo was replaced by the dobra following independence.
