I like those German metal cased knives commemorating Roman gods, also the other ones you have of factories , people and football. . Fine coins from the Estado Novo/Salazar era, are they silver? The ship I suppose represents Portugal's mariners in the Age of Discovery ? When I stayed with friends in Guimarães years ago I was most impressed by the castle wall plaque as The Birthplace of Portugal and the many beautiful tiles and tiled walls/pavements.

Thank you very much, Will.
I'm glad you admired our ancient art.
Yes, the coins represent the ships of the Discoveries and are made of silver.
