The 2016 Portugal 2 euro commemorative coin celebrates the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge, which spans the Tagus River in Lisbon. This architectural landmark, originally named the Salazar Bridge, was renamed following the Carnation Revolution to symbolise the transition to democracy. The design features a detailed representation of the suspension bridge, highlighting its distinctive red steel structure and its role as a vital connection between the city of Lisbon and the municipality of Almada. By commemorating this engineering feat, the coin reflects Portugal’s modern history and its ongoing development as a unified nation. The bridge remains one of the most recognisable symbols of the Portuguese capital, representing both industrial progress and the country's political evolution. This coin was issued in 2016 with a mintage of 520,000 pieces.
