Portugal Euro Coins: A Tribute to Royalty and National Tradition

Portugal, renowned for its maritime heritage and rich history, also offers through its euro coins a powerful representation of its royal heritage and national symbols.

Iconic coin designs:

Each of the eight coins in circulation features three distinct designs, all centered around the seal of King Alfonso I. This seal illustrates the king at three distinct moments in his life, reflecting his trajectory as founder of the Portuguese nation. Surrounding the seal, at the top, are seven castles, representative of the country's defense and sovereignty. At the bottom, five escutcheons are visible, each adorned with five points. These escutcheons and castles are taken directly from Portugal's national coat of arms, reflecting the country's deep-rooted identity.

To top it all off, the name of the issuing country, "PORTUGAL", is inscribed around each castle, and between each escutcheon, the coin's vintage can be read. This artistic and symbolic ensemble is perfectly framed by the 12 stars of the European flag, debossed on an outer ring.

Every detail of these coins offers a glimpse of Portugal's history and cultural richness, while honoring its membership of the European Union.

Whether you're a seasoned collector or simply passionate about history, these Portuguese euro coins, whether in BU, BE, commemorative or current circulation quality, are a treasure to discover and treasure.
