The Portugal 2024 Carnation Revolution 2 euro commemorative coin celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the military coup that restored democracy to the nation. The national side features a stylised carnation flower, which serves as the central symbol of the 25 April 1974 revolution. This historic event marked the end of the Estado Novo regime and the beginning of a transition toward a democratic system, fundamentally reshaping the political landscape of the country. The design reflects the peaceful nature of the uprising, where citizens placed carnations into the muzzles of soldiers' rifles, turning a military action into a symbol of liberation and national unity. This coin is issued in a standard circulation format with a mintage of 500,000 pieces for the 2024 issue.
