| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948. Portugal was among the signatories, though at the time the country was still six years into António de Oliveira Salazar's Estado Novo dictatorship — a government that systematically violated the very principles the Declaration enshrined. The commemorative was struck nearly three decades after Portugal's own democratic transition following the 1974 Carnation Revolution.
