5 euro – Hoop and Stick — Children´s Games
Series: Portugal – Commemorative 5 euro coins
The commemorative coin "Hoop and Stick" is the first
in the series dedicated to Children's Games, which will
make both children and adults remember happy days.
Designed by the award-winning designer and illustrator
Henrique Cayatte, on the obverse this silver coin has
a depiction of the toy in motion and, on the reverse, the
names of various games that are part of Portuguese
cultural heritage. Making this piece even more special,
Casa da Moeda partnered with Instituto Superior
Técnico to develop a central rotating element that
evokes the hoop in motion.
