Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Escudos (Pattern) 1986 from Portugal is that it features a unique design that was never adopted as the official currency of Portugal. The coin was minted as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample coin, but it was not officially released into circulation. Despite this, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists due to its unique design and limited availability.
