The Portuguese 2 euro circulation coin features a design rooted in the nation's rich royal heritage and historical identity. At the centre of the national side, the coin displays the royal seal of 1144, which is surrounded by the country's seven castles and five coats of arms. These heraldic symbols represent the foundational elements of the Portuguese monarchy and the consolidation of the kingdom during the twelfth century. Interspersed among these emblems are the letters of the name Portugal, arranged in a circular formation that frames the central motifs. This enduring design serves as a testament to the long-standing sovereignty of the Portuguese state. The coin was issued in 2022.
