Another country from which we already know all the coins that it will issue this year is Portugal. The INCM (National Press – Casa da Moeda) has just published its Numismatic Map 2022. In total there are twelve different motifs and coins that the Portuguese Mint has not prepared. I am going to present them to you one by one and at the end I will leave you the document with all the details where you will also find the eurosets.
The order that I am going to follow is the same as that which appears in the Program, it follows the date of issuance of the coins.
7.5 euro coin – 100 Years of José Saramago
This José Saramago centennial commemorative coin was designed by artist Carlos Nogueira. On one side we have an evocation of the sky, sometimes clear, sometimes turbulent, a metaphor related to the firmament that unites us all. On the other hand, we have the land, a fundamental element of Saramago's work: the land we walk on, that gives us sustenance, and to which we will all return. Between these two realities, the cosmic and the earthly, as the writer knew and described, there is always man.

5 euro coin – Design a Coin – The Climate
The climate was the theme chosen for the third edition of the "Draw a coin" contest, a collaboration with the schools of the municipality of Guarda. Out of 582 proposals, the 1st prize was awarded to Tiago Ferreira, a 6th year student at the Carolina Beatriz Ângelo School. This coin is also the result of the effort of the students of all the schools that participated in the project, who were invited to collect plastic waste, which was then used to mint these 6,000 coins. The colored discs, which symbolize each of the three colors of the recycling points, are a polymer adapted to be integrated into the metal at the time of minting.

5 euro coin – Dinosaurs of Portugal Series – Lourinhanosaurus antunesi

Designed by scientific illustration expert Joana Bruno, this collector's coin features the eggs of Lourinhanosaurus Antunesi.

Gold coin Numismatic Treasures Series – Engenhoso de D. Sebastião
Continuing with the “Numismatic Treasures” series, Casa da Moeda issues in 2022 a new version of the rare and coveted “Engenhoso de D. Sebastião” coin, minted for the first time during the reign of King Sebastian. Reinterpreted by the medalist Rui Vásquez, it is based on a copy from 1562.
For many centuries, Portugal had been struggling with the "cerceio" problem. This deception could go unnoticed, since the minting of the coins was not uniform. Thus, in 1553, João Gonçalves conceived a system that allowed gold to be melted and perfect coins to be made.

5 euro coin – 20 Years of the Euro
The image of this coin has not been released
Most of us know where we were on January 1, 2002, when the euro replaced other national currencies in our daily lives. Although the euro began to circulate two decades ago, its history dates back to the end of the 1960s. The name "euro" was chosen in 1995, and the euro symbol was inspired by the Greek letter epsilon (ε) and the first letter of the word "Europe".
This commemorative coin, with a face value of 5 euros, was designed by the plastic artist José Aurélio and illustrates the different European communities that support the euro, as a strong currency, capable of competing with other currencies in the world market.
This single European currency reflects our economic coordination, but above all it reflects our common values and goals. Proof of this is the resistance that the euro has shown in the face of various crises, and that it will undoubtedly continue to show for a long time.
