Comment
Ulysses, one of the greatest heroes of Western mythology, is associated with the foundation of the city of Lisbon (Olisipo). Immortalized in the poem Homer's Odyssey, Ulysses faced numerous trials on his journey home, including encounters with the cyclops Polyphemus, cannibalistic giants, the sorceress Circe, Scylla, and Charybdis. The narrative highlights his cunning and persistence. The coin dedicated to mythology highlights Ulysses as an inspirational figure, with his legendary abilities, minted by the INCM.
Interesting fact
The Ulysses coin is a non-circulating coin, meaning it's not meant to be used as regular currency. Instead, it's often collected by numismatists or coin enthusiasts.
