Part of Portugal's "Portugal Through the Eyes of a Child" series, this issue reproduces artwork submitted by schoolchildren in a national competition — a program run in coordination with the mint to promote numismatic awareness among younger generations. The winning designs were selected through regional school competitions before final adjudication by INCM.
The series ran across several years with rotating themes, each tied to a different facet of Portuguese identity as interpreted by children's drawings. The sea, predictably, was among the most submitted subjects given Portugal's Atlantic geography and maritime history.
