Interesting fact
The 1988 Portuguese Olympic Games commemorative coin features a unique design that incorporates a built-in security feature. The coin's outer ring has a raised texture that resembles the Olympic rings, and when held at a certain angle, the rings appear to move, creating a dynamic effect. This innovative design was a first for circulating coins at the time and added an extra layer of security against counterfeiting.
