Cape Verde's 1994 coin series was part of a broader effort to establish a distinct national identity following independence from Portugal in 1975 and the subsequent monetary separation that replaced the Cape Verdean escudo's parity with the Portuguese escudo. KM#28 belongs to the fauna-themed series that the Banco de Cabo Verde commissioned to emphasize the archipelago's unique ecology — the osprey being a genuine resident of the islands rather than a symbolic convenience.
