Interesting fact

The Pattern 20 Centavos coin was designed by the Portuguese artist, António de Sousa Lopes, and features a unique pattern on its reverse side. The pattern depicts a stylized image of a Portuguese sailing ship, which symbolizes the country's rich maritime history and its connection to the sea. This design was specifically created for the 20 Centavos coin and is not found on any other Portuguese coins.
