I am wondering about several Portugal silver commemoratives - 20 escudos 1966 KM#592 (Salazar Bridge), 50 escudos 1972 KM#602 (Os Lusiadas) and 100 escudos 1976 KM#603 (Carnation Revolution). Does anybody knows if those coins were in circulation (at least theoretically) or have been used strictly as the non-circulating commemorative? Numista catalog doesn't have "Non circulating" mark on them but were they really in any circulation other than between collectors?
Thanks
