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 Euros Silver Coin (The Yokes) has a unique design that features a traditional Portuguese folk instrument called a "yoke." The yoke is a stringed instrument that is played with a bow, and it is often used in traditional Portuguese folk music. The coin's design features two yokes crossed over each other, which gives the coin its name. The use of the yoke in the coin's design is a nod to Portugal's rich cultural heritage and its tradition of folk music.
