Interesting fact
The 20 Centavos coin from Portugal was minted during a time of great change in the country. In 1910, the monarchy was overthrown and the First Portuguese Republic was established. This coin was minted during the transition period, and it features the image of a woman representing the Republic on one side, and the value of 20 centavos on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition also adds to its historical significance, as it was a common practice in coinage at the time.
