Interesting fact
The 2 Euro Olympic Team coin from Portugal features a unique colorization technique, where the nickel brass clad nickel center is colored with a special process that creates a vibrant, glossy finish. This colorization method is known as "pad printing" and it's a first for a bi-metallic coin. The result is a visually striking coin that really stands out!
