Portuguese euro coins show three different designs
for each of the three series of coins.
However, they are
quite similar in that all contain old Portuguese royal mints and seals within a circle of seven
castles and five escutcheona with silver bezants (all similar to what can be seen in the
Coat of arms and Flag of Portugal) and the word "Portugal
".
Also featured in the designs, all done by Victor Manuel Fernandes
dos Santos, are the
12 stars of the
EU and the year of minting.
