Comment
The above pict is the lot 26456 from INCM (Lisbon Mint House Museum)Interesting fact
The Pattern 30 Centavos coin from Timor-Leste is a rare and unique coin, with only 1000 pieces minted in 1958. It was designed by the Portuguese artist, José de Almada Negreiros, and features a portrait of the Timorese resistance leader, Nicolau dos Reis Lobato, on the obverse side, and the coat of arms of Timor-Leste on the reverse side. The coin was never officially released into circulation, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
