One interesting fact about the 50 Centavos coin from Portugal is that it was designed by the artist José de Almada Negreiros, who was a prominent figure in the modernist movement in Portugal. The coin features a portrait of the Portuguese poet and writer, Luís de Camões, on one side, and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. The use of a famous national poet and the country's coat of arms symbolizes the importance of literature and national identity in Portuguese culture.
