The 2015 Portugal 2 euro commemorative coin honours the 150th anniversary of the Portuguese Red Cross, an organisation deeply rooted in the nation's humanitarian history. The national side features the iconic Red Cross emblem at its centre, surrounded by a series of stylised crosses that radiate outwards, symbolising the organisation's extensive reach and its enduring commitment to providing aid and relief across Portuguese society. This design reflects the values of solidarity and altruism that have defined the institution since its establishment in 1865. By depicting the cross, the coin pays tribute to the volunteers and professionals who have dedicated themselves to medical assistance and social welfare throughout the country's modern history. This commemorative issue was released in 2015 with a mintage of 500,000 coins.
