Interesting fact
The 500 Escudos coin was issued in 2001 to commemorate Portugal's designation as the European Culture Capital that year. The coin's design features a portrait of Luis de Camoes, a famous Portuguese poet and writer who is considered one of the greatest figures in Portuguese literature. The coin's reverse side features an image of the Jeronimos Monastery, a beautiful example of Manueline architecture located in Lisbon. The monastery was built in the 16th century to commemorate Vasco da Gama's voyage to India, and it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
