Salve,
ho 2 monete di Madeira, 25 ESCUDOS 1981 E 100 ESCUDOS 1981.
Dove le trovo? Sul catalogo vengono segnalate 3 monete dell'800.
Grazie dell'aiuto.
Saluti al gruppo.

Hello! :`

Your coins are located under Portugal. See here:

And here you can find an explanation as to why that is:

It is interesting how Madeira is referenced on both the obverse and reverse of these coins...unlike other regional commemorative coins of Portugal. Actually, the regional commemoratives of Azores issues of 1980 celebrating autonomy, refer to the Azores on the obverse and reverse. Among the dozens of Portuguese coins the 1980 and 1981 issues are the only one that dont follow the Portuguese pattern. Mysterious...I agree with Krause.
