Comment

To conclude the cycle referencing the “Ages of Europe”, which reflects some of the most important European artistic movements, the theme of the Europe Series in 2020 is the Gothic, a style that had a particular influence on European architecture between the XII and XIV centuries, featuring vaults and ogive arches as well as stained glass windows. All of these elements are in relief on the Portuguese coin created by designer Eduardo Aires.

Interesting fact

The Gothic coin's design features a stunning representation of the Gothic architecture found in Portugal, particularly in the monastery of Batalha. The intricate details and ornate decorations on the coin are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the mint's engravers and designers.
