		Portugal	40th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution	20001 20002
	Description : According to José Teixeira's design, two arches form the stylised calyx of a carnation, which is considered the symbol of the freedom movement and gave its name to the revolution. On the 25th of April 1974, the revolution ended the decades‐long dictatorship of António Salazar and his successor Marcelo Caetano and paved the way for a democratic state culture. At the top, the name "PORTUGAL" is depicted below ‐ as in the coat of arms of Portugal ‐ the coat of arms shield on an armillary sphere. On the left and in the centre is the commemorative date "25 DE ABRIL" (April 25th). Below that, "40 ANOS" (40 years) and the year of issue "2014" are mentioned in three lines, and to the right of that "INCM" the mint mark of the Portuguese mint Imprensa Nacional‐ Casa da Moeda S.A. in Lisbon and the name of the designer "JOSÉ TEIXEIRA".
