150TH ANNIVERSARY OF RED CROSS (NORMAL)

The Red Cross was founded in Geneva in 1863 with the aim of providing aid to victims of conflicts and alleviate human suffering. It is currently made up of millions of volunteers all over the world.

To mark 150 years since the foundation of this international humanitarian institution, the INCM decided to mint a coin, with a face value of 2,50 Euros, which is the result of a design created by José Bandeira and engraving work performed by Delgado Nunes.

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.
