Description:
The coin alluding to D. Catarina de Bragança (1638-1705), queen consort of the Kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland through her marriage to Charles II of England, continues the series -Queens of Europe-, which aims to portray princesses of Portugal who reigned in Europe.

Designed by José Viriato, the coin shows on the obverse a representation of a cup of tea and the legend "Five O'Clock Tea", recalling the introduction of this drink at the English court by Queen Catherine of Bragan&ccidil;a.



On the reverse side, the figure of D. Catarina appears, inspired by the portrait painted by Peter Lely.

About Euro Collector Coins:
Euro 'Collection Coins' are coins issued by Individual Member States.
These coins can not have a face value of 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, €1, or €2.
They are legal tender within the issuing state.
The European Council concludes that other member states should also accept these coins (via their respective National Central Banks [transaction fee may apply]) thus effectively making them legal tender through the euro zone.
