Interesting fact

This coin was designed by the Portuguese artist, António de Sousa, and it features a unique pattern that showcases the beauty of Azores, a group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean. The coin's design includes an image of King Charles I of Portugal, surrounded by intricate patterns and inscriptions that reflect the island's rich history and culture. The use of aluminum in the coin's minting process was also a unique choice at the time, adding to the coin's distinctiveness and value among collectors.
