Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from Cape Verde was designed by the Portuguese artist, António de Sousa. He was a well-known sculptor and engraver who also designed several other coins for Portugal and its colonies. The coin features a portrait of the Portuguese king, Manuel II, on one side, and the coat of arms of Cape Verde on the other. It's a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history that reflects the cultural and political ties between Portugal and Cape Verde during that time.
