Product Description
In 2017 it was 150 years ago that the famous Portuguese writer Raul Brandão (12.3.1867 - 05.12.1930) was born. Raul Brandão was born near Porto and chose to serve in the army. In 1912 he left the army and he fully committed himself to writing various books. Because Raul Brandão came from a family of sailors, his stories were often about fishermen, sailors and the sea. In 2017 it will be 150 years since Raul Brandão was born and to remember this, Portugal has issued a special 2 Euro coin. On the face of this heavily silvered 2 Euro coin Raul Brandão is portrayed. On the left side of the coin is his name Raul Brandão as well as the years 1867 and 2017. On the right side of the coin is the country name Portugal. The coin is heavily silver-plated and is packaged in a plastic coin capsule.
