The Official Blister 2013 contains the 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 cent coins and 1, 2 euros (unc). The coins are beautifully presented in an official coin folder blister pack and outer sleeve.
The Portuguese rooster, or "Barcelo's Rooster" symbolic element related to Portuguese popular culture, recounts the miraculous intervention of a roasted cock proving the innocence of a man wrongly accused.
Portuguese euro coins show three different designs for each of the three series of coins, representing the first Portuguese King, D. Afonso Henriques. However, they are quite similar in that all contain old royal mints and seals within a circle of seven castles and five coats of arms and the word "Portugal". The designer Vitor Manuel Fernandes dos Santos drew his inspiration from historical symbols and the seals of the first King of Portugal. |
