Interesting fact
The 10 Escudos 1953 coin from Cape Verde was designed by the artist José de Almada Negreiros, who was a prominent figure in the modernist movement in Portugal. The coin features a portrait of the Cape Verdean poet and writer, Baltasar Lopes da Silva, on one side, and a depiction of a traditional Cape Verdean boat on the other. The use of a local artist and themes reflects the country's desire to assert its cultural identity and independence from Portugal, which had colonized Cape Verde for centuries.
