The Cante Alentejano coin, released in 2016, was the first silver coin issued by Portugal with a denomination of 2½ euros. It was part of a series of commemorative coins celebrating the country's cultural heritage, specifically the traditional music and dance of the Alentejo region. The coin's design features a stylized representation of a traditional Alentejo singer, known as a "canteador," and was created by artist José Aurélio. The coin's unique design and limited mintage have made it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and fans of Portuguese culture.
