As part of an unprecedented project run in partnership with the municipality of Setúbal, which aims to stimulate artistic and numismatic creation among young people and the school community, INCM is minting a coin on the theme of "The Future", designed by the young Martim Estanislau, winner of the 1st edition of the "Design the Coin" competition, which featured the participation of over 800 secondary school students from Setúbal.
Through the simple and innocent drawings of a child, the reverse of the coin features a past of war and death, and the obverse shows a future without war, with peace, freedom and equality for all.
Notes: Normal finishing coins are produced to enter into circulation and obtained with high speed coining and packaging processes. The contact between the coins of each batch might induce small scratches on the surface. These scratches are not admissible as cause for a complaint. Any other complaint due to defects on these coins has to be evaluated on a case by case basis.
