Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Escudo coin was designed by the artist José de Almada Negreiros, who was a prominent figure in the modernist movement in Portugal. The coin features a unique and striking design, with a stylized portrait of a woman representing the Republic of Portugal on one side, and a depiction of the country's coat of arms on the other. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's transition towards modernity and its break with the past, and it has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
