Those are nice coins. They also come with a bronze outer ring instead of a brass one. Do you also own those versions?

I own the lark coin in both materials; the other two I have with the brass outer ring only.

Afrasi tells me the Bronze outer rings were in sets only......
I have one of the three in Bronze (can't remember which one at the moment)

No, I don't have both the varieties. The bronze variety, as andyg mentioned, comes only in sets which are quite expensive these days ::)

The other denominations of the set are quite common but I haven't seen 50 and 100 Escudos offered so often...
