Additional information

Carlos Lopes won the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic marathon at age 37, becoming the oldest Olympic marathon champion in history at the time — a record that still stands. Portugal issued this piece under its unconventional 7½ euro denomination, a face value series INCM introduced partly as a collector vehicle and partly to sidestep the design constraints applied to standard euro coinage under EU agreements.
