Interesting fact
The 2 Centavos coin from Portugal was designed by the artist José de Almada Negreiros, who was a prominent figure in the modernist movement in Portugal. The coin features a unique and stylized design, with the number "2" on one side and the Portuguese coat of arms on the other. The use of modernist design elements in the coin's design was a departure from traditional coin designs and reflects the artistic movements of the time.
