Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 100 Centavos coin from Timor-Leste is that it features a unique design that reflects the country's rich cultural heritage. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Boaventura de Manufahi, a prominent Timorese resistance leader who fought against Portuguese colonial rule in the 19th century. The reverse side of the coin depicts a traditional Timorese boat, known as a "sama-sama," which is a symbol of the country's maritime culture and fishing industry. The coin's bimetallic design, with a copper-nickel center in an aluminum bronze ring, adds to its distinctiveness and value as a collector's item.
