Interesting fact
The 100 Escudos coin from Cape Verde featuring the Raso Lark and Brass Ring was the first bi-metallic coin to be issued by the country. Bi-metallic coins are made of two different metals, in this case, copper-nickel and brass, which provides a unique look and feel to the coin. This innovative design was a departure from traditional coins made of a single metal and added an extra layer of security against counterfeiting.
