| Additional information |
The Azores never had authority to issue euro coinage — that prerogative belongs exclusively to the Portuguese Republic. Pattern pieces attributed to the Azores circulating under euro denominations are privately produced fantasy strikes, not official mint output. Whether this example originates from a medal maker exploiting collector demand or from a more systematic fantasy series is worth establishing before cataloging it alongside legitimate patterns.
