Interesting fact
The 100 Escudos coin from Cape Verde, issued in 1990 to commemorate the papal visit, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin has a hole in the center, which is uncommon for coins. This hole is said to represent the hole in the wall of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, which was visited by Pope John Paul II during his papal visit to Cape Verde. This distinctive feature makes the coin stand out and adds to its collectible value.
