Commemorative issue

40. rocznica rewolucji 25 kwietnia Automatically translated

Obverse

Dwie krzywe przedstawiają ogólny kształt goździka, kwiatu symbolizującego ruch, od którego pochodzi również nazwa rewolucji. Nazwa kraju emitującego "PORTUGALIA" i herb są wpisane w górnej części kwiatu. W środkowej części widnieje data wydarzenia "25 DE ABRIL" (25 kwietnia), a w dolnej części liczba lat minionych od rewolucji "40 ANOS" (40 lat) i rok emisji "2014". Kształt liter i cyfr jest inspirowany tymi używanymi na plakatach i innych informacjach politycznych wspierających 40 lat temu, jako symbol euforycznego okresu przeżywanego tuż po tym wydarzeniu. Na zewnętrznym otoku monety umieszczono 12 gwiazd Unii Europejskiej. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The two curves represent the general shape of a carnation, the flower symbolizing the movement, which was also the origin of the revolution’s name. The name of the issuing country ‘PORTUGAL’ and the Coat of Arms are inscribed on the top of the flower. The center of the image shows the date of the event ‘25 DE ABRIL’ (25th April) and at the bottom is written the number of years past since the revolution ‘40 ANOS’ (40 years) and the year of issuance ‘2014’. The shape of the letters and numbers is inspired by those used in posters and other political information supports 40 years ago, as a symbol of the euphoric period lived right after the event. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European Union.
