Here is another commemorative coin dedicated to the Olympic Games, this time for the participation of Portugal in the Rio Olympics. Coin issued on 03/05/2014.

The Obverse features a stylization of an artistic installation by Joanna Vasconcelos, the Heart of Viana. The installation, inspired by the typical jewelry of Viana do Castelo, was created to support the athletes of the Portuguese Olympic team.

Below the tip of the heart is engraved the symbol of the Lisbon Mint INCM, and to its right the symbol of the Rio Olympics.
To the left of the coin, along the edge, is the signature of the author JOANA VASCONCELOS and to the right the inscription EQUIPA OLÍMPICA DE PORTUGAL 2016.

On the ring part of the coin, made of nickel, the symbol of Europe is engraved, with the 12 stars arranged in a circle.

The value side, the Reverse of the coin, is known as the Common Side. In fact, it is the same for all €2 coins.

The edge is recognizable by seven castles and five coats of arms engraved on it.
