Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1991 Portuguese 200 Escudos coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's discovery of the Americas. The coin's obverse side depicts a portrait of Columbus, while the reverse side features a map of the world as it was known in the 15th century, with the New World added to the left of the traditional map of the Old World. This design was created by the Portuguese artist, José Aurélio, and it sets the coin apart from other coins issued by Portugal that year.
