The Portugal 2008 Universal Declaration of Human Rights 2 euro commemorative coin marks the 60th anniversary of this landmark international document. The national side features a complex geometric pattern composed of interlocking lines that radiate from a central point, symbolising the interconnected nature of human rights and the global reach of the declaration. Below this design, the Portuguese coat of arms is positioned alongside the country name and the year of issue. Surrounding the central motif, the inscription '60 ANOS DA DECLARAÇÃO UNIVERSAL DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS' honours the historic adoption of the charter by the United Nations in 1948, reflecting Portugal's commitment to the principles of equality and fundamental freedoms. This coin was issued in 2008 with a mintage of 1,000,000 pieces.
