Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Escudos (Prova) 1953 from Cape Verde is a rare and unique coin, with only 100 pieces minted. It was created as a trial coin, and its design features a portrait of the Cape Verdean leader, Amílcar Cabral, on one side, and the coat of arms of Cape Verde on the other. The coin was never officially released into circulation, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
