25 Years of the Guild of Insurance Companies (Portugal) 1934-1959 - commemorative bronze medal (81mm diameter)
The Grémio dos Seguradores (Guild of Insurance Companies) was created by decree on the 20th June 1934 by President Óscar Carmona and Prime Minister António de Oliveira Salazar of the newly formed Estado Novo (1933-1974), of the Second Republic of Portugal.
The Guild was an association of Insurance companies and brokers whose function would have been to regulate the insurance industry within Portugal. As a result of the post-Carnation Revolution (1974) nationalisations that included banks and insurance companies, the Guild was abolished on 21st June 1975. The Guild's functions would thereafter be taken over by the National Insurance Institute of Portugal, which was established on 13th January 1976.
