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 Silver 5 Euro coin from Portugal features an intricate design that showcases the country's rich history and culture. The coin's obverse side features a detailed representation of the Gothic architecture of the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon, which was built in the 16th century to commemorate Vasco da Gama's voyage to India. The monastery's intricate stone carvings and ornate details are beautifully captured on the coin, making it a stunning representation of Portugal's cultural heritage.
