Saint Tirso is a city to 30 km of the city of Oporto. This token makes part of an emission of 4 values of an enterprise Almeida and Cª that will have told to coin these coins in Germany. It be a possible knowledge who will have done them?

There were several private mint companies in this time, but the highest probabibility has Lauer in Nürnberg. Best regards, KarlAntonMartini

Hallo,

I would join in K.A.M.'s opinion - in my collection there are some emergency coins with the same little blossoms as you can see left and right from "THYRSO" and my coins were made by Lauer about 1915~1920.

Many thanks to both for the information.
