Interesting fact

The Modernism - Almada Negreiros coin was designed by the artist José de Almada Negreiros, who was a prominent figure in the modernist movement in Portugal. The coin's design features a stylized representation of the artist's signature, along with several symbols and motifs that are characteristic of his work. This coin was issued as part of a series commemorating the 150th anniversary of Almada Negreiros' birth, and it is a unique and interesting example of modernist art in numismatics.
