| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Portuguese coat of arms is centrally placed within an elaborate radial composition of eight stylized roosters — the iconic Galo de Barcelos — arranged symmetrically around the shield. The roosters, rendered in a bold folk-art style, fan outward to fill the field. Interspersed between the birds, the letters of 'PORTUGAL' and the year '2016' appear in a decorative scattered arrangement around the periphery of the design, punctuated by small heart motifs. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Galo de Barcelos — the rooster at the center of this piece's theme — is one of the more peculiar national symbols in modern Europe, tracing its popular form to a 19th-century ceramic tradition from Barcelos in the Minho region, rather than to any medieval origin the legend claims. The story of the miraculous crowing cock that saved an innocent pilgrim from the gallows is almost certainly a 20th-century elaboration, and the rooster's ascent to unofficial national emblem accelerated sharply during the Salazar regime's promotion of folkloric identity.
INCM's "Figurado" series draws on Portuguese clay figurine craft. This gold variant of KM#869 was struck in a limited collector issue alongside base-metal circulation pieces.
