Interesting fact

The 2 Euro commemorative coin from Portugal, issued in 2015 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Timor dynasty, has a unique design feature. The coin's outer ring is made of copper-nickel, while the inner circle is made of nickel brass, creating a distinctive bimetallic look. This is the first time that Portugal has used this bimetallic technique in a circulating coin.
