Interesting fact

The 2015 Portuguese 2½ Euros coin commemorating 70 years of peace in Europe features a unique design that represents the theme of peace and unity. The coin's reverse side depicts a stylized image of a dove, which is a symbol of peace, flying over a map of Europe. The dove's wings are spread out, signifying the spread of peace across the continent. The coin's obverse side features the standard design for Portuguese coins, with the country's coat of arms and the inscription "Portugal" in bold letters. This coin was minted to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and the beginning of a long period of peace in Europe, which has been maintained through the efforts of the European Union and other international organizations.
