71/2 Euros Sport Heroes - Carlos Lopes, Proof Issue

Carlos Lopes won the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic marathon at age 37 — then the oldest man ever to win that event — and remains Portugal's only Olympic athletics gold medalist. This issue belongs to INCM's ongoing Sport Heroes series, which has used the unconventional €7.50 face value since its inception, a denomination chosen specifically to sit outside everyday circulation while maintaining legal tender status.
