Comment
With the aim of showcasing elements of the traditional culture that make up our identity, the INCM, in partnership with the National Museum of Ethnology, has created the series of collection coins entitled "Portuguese Ethnography".The second coin of this series, designed by sculptor Baiba Sime, features the "Jugos", also known as "Cangas", profusely ornate wooden yokes from the Northwest of Portugal, that were attached to the teams of oxen used in farming.
Interesting fact
The 2014 Portuguese 2½ Euro commemorative coin, also known as "The Yokes," features a unique design that pays tribute to the country's history and culture. The coin's obverse side depicts a stylized representation of a traditional Portuguese yoke, which was used to harness oxen for plowing fields. The yoke is surrounded by intricate patterns and designs that reflect the country's rich artistic heritage. The coin's reverse side features the coat of arms of Portugal, along with the inscription "Portugal 2014" and the coin's denomination. I hope you find this information interesting and helpful!
