The 2010 Portugal 2 euro commemorative coin celebrates the centenary of the Portuguese Republic, marking the transition from a constitutional monarchy to a republican system of government. The national side features the coat of arms of Portugal positioned centrally, flanked by the national flag and the armillary sphere, which serves as a historical symbol of the country's maritime exploration and global reach. Above these elements, the inscription 'República Portuguesa' is clearly visible, while the dates '1910-2010' commemorate the century of republican history. This design reflects the foundational shift in the nation's political identity and its enduring commitment to the values established during the revolution. The coin was issued in 2010 with a mintage of 1,000,000 pieces.
