Portugal 5 Euro 2019 The sea signed by a child

As part of a collaborative project with the municipality of Aveiro, Portugal is trying to encourage their youngsters in the field of arts and numismatics. The winner of the second edition of this project is 'Isis Martins' and the theme is the sea. After all, it is not the idea of the sea that everyone in Portugal knows? Beautiful coastlines and pearly white beaches where the sea ensures a stable supply of water. No, this coin refers to the boat refugees who, on their fragile and overcrowded boats, should be allowed mercy on the rough sea that does not take these people into account, says Isis Martins. Portugal has issued a 5 Euro coin to share this drawing. On the face of the coin O'mar (the sea) is depicted surmounted by a crowded rubber boat filled with refugees. Below is the text Salva (red). Red, the sea. On the reverse of the coin is the value indication of 5 Euro. The country name, Portugal, is at the bottom with the year 2019 above it. In addition, a portion of the sea is indicated at the top of the coin. The coin is supplied in a printed coin holder.
