Comment
Released In a certified card.Interesting fact
The 2 Euro coin commemorating 150 Years of Public Security in Portugal features a unique colorized design, with the center piece depicting a portrait of King Luis I in full color, surrounded by a ring of copper-nickel. This colorized design was achieved through a special minting process, where a layer of colored metal was applied to the coin's surface using a technique called "pad printing." This process allows for intricate designs and color variations that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional minting methods.
