Comment
The date on the coin, 1979, is not the coin date since it was mint in 1985Interesting fact
The 25 Escudos coin from Portugal, issued in 1985 to commemorate the International Year of the Child, features a unique design that highlights the importance of children's rights and well-being. The coin's reverse side depicts a stylized image of a child's face, surrounded by the words "ANO INTERNACIONAL DO MENINO" (International Year of the Child) and "PORTUGAL" in bold letters. This design was created by the Portuguese artist, José Aurélio, and it has become a distinctive feature of this coin. It's worth noting that the coin's design was not only aesthetically pleasing but also symbolic. The image of the child's face represents the innocence and vulnerability of children, while the bold letters signify the importance of protecting and promoting their rights. The coin's theme aligns with the United Nations' declaration of 1985 as the International Year of the Child, which aimed to raise awareness about the needs and rights of children worldwide.
