Comments

A man of courage
A tribute from the Portuguese Republic to this inspiring man. The coin is also dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust, to all of those who were able to save themselves, and to the heroes who helped them. On the obverse, Aristides de Sousa Mendes' resolute gaze invites us to follow his example of courage. On the reverse, the five main values that guided his actions are framed by a V of victory, impelling us never to forget the horrors of the past.
