Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Escudo coin was designed by the artist José de Almada Negreiros, who was a prominent figure in Portuguese modernism. The coin features a unique abstract design that includes a stylized portrait of the Portuguese poet and writer, Luís de Camões, on one side, and a pattern of waves and sea creatures on the other. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the connection between Portugal and its maritime history.
