Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1983 Portuguese FAO 2.50 Escudos coin is that it features a unique design that represents the theme of agriculture and food production, which is reflected in the coin's reverse side that depicts a stylized image of a farmer working in a field, surrounded by crops and trees. This design was created by the artist José Aurélio, who was commissioned by the Portuguese Mint to create a series of coins that would highlight the country's agricultural industry and its contributions to the global food supply. The coin's obverse side features the portrait of the Portuguese president at the time, António Ramalho Eanes.
