The Portugal 2013 Torre dos Clérigos 2 euro commemorative coin celebrates the 250th anniversary of the completion of one of Porto’s most iconic landmarks. The national side features a detailed depiction of the Clérigos Tower, designed by the Italian architect Nicolau Nasoni and finished in 1763. Rising above the city skyline, the Baroque bell tower serves as a symbol of Porto’s architectural heritage and its historical significance as a centre of artistic development in the eighteenth century. The design captures the intricate stonework and the commanding verticality that has made the structure a defining element of the Portuguese urban landscape for over two centuries. This coin was issued in 2013 with a mintage of 500,000 pieces.
