Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Escudos 1970 coin from Timor-Leste is that it features a unique design that reflects the country's history and culture. The obverse side of the coin depicts a traditional Timorese woman wearing a traditional headdress, while the reverse side features a traditional Timorese boat, known as a "sampan," in the center, surrounded by rice stalks and the country's name in Portuguese, "Timor-Leste." This design was created by the Portuguese artist, José Joaquim, and it was used on several coins during the Portuguese colonial period.
