São Tomé and Príncipe real

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The real was the currency of São Tomé and Príncipe until 1914. It was equivalent to the Portuguese real. Coins were issued specifically for São Tomé and Príncipe until 1825 and banknotes were issued for the colony beginning in 1897.

The real was replaced by the escudo at a rate of 1000 réis = 1 escudo.
