Interesting fact

The 8 Euro silver coin commemorating the Enlargement of the European Union in 2004 was the first bi-metallic coin issued by Portugal. It features a unique design that showcases the unity and diversity of the European Union, with the outer ring representing the 10 founding members and the inner circle representing the 10 new member states that joined in 2004. The coin's design was created by the Portuguese artist, José Aurélio, and it was minted in a limited quantity of 50,000 pieces, making it a highly collectible item for numismatists.
