| Additional information |
Issued by Portugal to coincide with UEFA Euro 2004, hosted entirely within the country across ten venues — the first major tournament Portugal had hosted since the 1966 FIFA World Cup. The €8 denomination was invented specifically for this commemorative series, having no place in everyday circulation and no precedent in Portuguese coinage.
The .500 fineness is notably low for a commemorative silver issue, a cost-management decision that drew quiet criticism from collectors at the time.
