Interesting fact

The 2015 Portuguese "O Fado" 2½ Euro coin was designed by artist Joana Vasconcelos, who is known for her contemporary art installations that often incorporate everyday objects and materials. The coin's design features a stylized representation of a traditional Portuguese guitar, which is a common instrument used in fado music. The guitar is surrounded by a pattern of waves, which symbolize the ocean and the connection between Portugal and its maritime history. The coin's design is a unique blend of traditional and modern elements, reflecting the country's rich cultural heritage and its contemporary artistic expression.
