Comment
Saramago. Earth and SkyThis coin commemorating José Saramago´s 100th birthday was designed by artist Carlos Nogueira.
On one side we have an evocation of the sky, sometimes clear, sometimes turbulent, a metaphor related to the
firmament that unites us all. On the other, we have the earth, a fundamental element of Saramago´s oeuvre:
the earth we tread on, which gives us sustenance, and to which we will all return. Between these two realities,
the cosmic and the earthly, as the writer knew and described so well, there is always man.
Interesting fact
The José Saramago gold coin from Portugal features a unique design that incorporates Braille letters. The coin's reverse side features a relief portrait of José Saramago, the Nobel Prize-winning Portuguese writer, and his name is spelled out in Braille letters around the edge of the coin. This is a nod to Saramago's own experiences with blindness and his advocacy for the rights of people with disabilities.
