Interesting fact

The 5 Euro circulating commemorative coin from Portugal, issued in 2018 to commemorate 100 years of the armistice, features a unique design that incorporates a piece of history. The coin's reverse side features a representation of the famous "Poilus" statue, which depicts a French soldier with a rifle and a helmet, symbolizing the end of World War I. The statue was originally created by the French sculptor, Émile Oscar Guillaume, and was later reproduced on the coin to honor the centenary of the armistice. This coin is a meaningful tribute to the soldiers who fought and sacrificed their lives during World War I, and serves as a reminder of the importance of peace and reconciliation.
