Interesting fact

The Army Institute Pupils coin was designed by Portuguese artist José Aurélio, and it features an image of a young soldier saluting, surrounded by the words "Instituto de Cadetes do Exército" (Army Institute Pupils) and the year 2011. The coin was minted to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Army Institute Pupils, which was established in 1861 to provide education and training to young people interested in pursuing a military career. The coin's design was chosen through a public competition, and it was minted in copper-nickel, a common material used for coinage due to its durability and resistance to corrosion.
