Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1995 Portugal 200 Escudos Silver Coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a portrait of Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer who led the first expedition to circumnavigate the globe in the early 16th century. This design was created by the artist José Aurélio, and it is surrounded by a decorative border that adds to the coin's aesthetic appeal. The coin's obverse, on the other hand, bears the image of the Portuguese coat of arms.
