Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Escudos 1964 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 representation of the island of Timor, along with the coin's denomination and year of issue. This design was created by the Portuguese artist, José de Almada Negreiros, who was commissioned by the Portuguese government to design the coinage for Timor-Leste during the colonial period. The coin's unique design makes it a popular collector's item among numismatists and those interested in the history and culture of Timor-Leste.
