Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Centavos 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 stylized portrait of a woman representing the Republic of Portugal on one side, and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. The use of bronze in the coin's composition was a deliberate choice to reflect the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
