Interesting fact
The Côa Valley coin was designed by Portuguese artist José Aurélio, and it features a unique design that showcases the prehistoric rock art found in the Côa Valley, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The coin's design includes an image of a horse, which is one of the most common motifs found in the valley's rock art. The horse is depicted in a dynamic pose, as if it's running across the coin's surface. The use of copper-nickel in the coin's composition gives it a distinctive color that complements the design, and the 10g weight provides a substantial feel in the hand. Overall, the coin is a beautiful representation of Portugal's rich cultural heritage.
