Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Escudos 1958 coin from Timor-Leste is that it features a unique design that reflects the country's history and culture. The obverse side of the coin depicts a traditional Timorese woman wearing a traditional headdress, while the reverse side features a portrait of the Portuguese king, Dom Luís I. This blend of traditional Timorese and Portuguese elements reflects the country's complex history as a Portuguese colony, which was occupied by Japan during World War II and later became an independent nation in 1975.
