Interesting fact

The 1000 Dobras coin from São Tomé and Príncipe, issued in 1996 to commemorate the Atlanta Olympics, features a unique design that showcases the country's rich cultural heritage. The coin's reverse side depicts a traditional São Toméan boat, known as a "pirogue," sailing through the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The boat is surrounded by a circle of dolphins, symbolizing the country's connection to the sea and its rich marine life. The coin's obverse side features the coat of arms of São Tomé and Príncipe, along with the inscription "República Democrática de São Tomé e Príncipe" (Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe). This coin is a rare and beautiful collector's item that not only showcases the country's rich history and culture but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our marine ecosystems.
