Quinhentos Escudos Falsos is the story of how in 1925 an anonymous citizen, who wanted to control the Bank of Portugal, managed, through an extraordinary process, to have 200,000 500-escudo notes manufactured. This financial thriller follows the life of Alves dos Reis across Portugal, Angola, Biarritz, Paris, and London, showing how he mortally shook a government and almost achieved financial control of the country.
