Comment
The picture is the coin MCM 23787 from the INCM Museum.Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Escudos coin was designed by the Portuguese artist, Lourenço de Castro, and it features a unique pattern on its reverse side. The pattern includes a stylized representation of the Portuguese coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of olive branches, and the inscription "10 Escudos" at the bottom. This design was only used for a short period of time, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
