We intend to contribute towards the preservation of memory and towards the marketing of the industrial and cultural heritage left to us by Electro-Ceramics, towards the study and the collection's characterization, which is composed by the Candal Park's own administrative facilities...; The production of electrical apparatus, incomplete parts of electric switchboards, telephony appliance, domestic pottery, coins minted out of porcelain and other ceramic objects,..
The part on the coins is copied below:
"The mintage of porcelain coins is noteworthy of recognition, due to its significance and high relevance. After the First World War, the nation had a generalized lack of coins for change, namely of 1, 2, 4 and 10 cents. For this reason, municipalities were authorized to issue paper notes, who would be rendered useless after a few uses, due to the lack of paper quality. Thus, the Gaia municipality placed an order to the E.C. for ceramic coins. The coins had a crown with King Ramiro's mural in the backside, and at the end, the year. On the front and middle, the amount and the unit: cents (centavos). By the end of 1922, the Tax office, by command of the Portuguese Bank, began collecting the coins once again. The municipality proceeded onto the exchange of the coins which were active in its treasury (Saraiva, 1985). "
