Interesting fact
The Sagres coin was designed by the Portuguese artist, José Aurélio, and it features a unique design that pays tribute to the Portuguese Age of Discoveries.

The coin's design is meant to symbolize the spirit of exploration and adventure that characterized this period in Portuguese history.
