A set of coins from the first in the world<\/p>\n
ten-sided bimetallic coin<\/p>\n
Before the discovery of Cape Verde by Portuguese sailors<\/p>\n
in 1456 no people lived on the islands.<\/p>\n
Their original “inhabitants” are marked<\/p>\n
with this complete set of Cape Verde Escudo coins.<\/p>\n
Due to its isolated location<\/p>\n
off the west coast of Africa, Cape Verde is<\/p>\n
home to a number of endemic animal and plant species.<\/p>\n
The obverses of the coins feature the national coat of arms and denominations.<\/p>\n
The reverse depicts a sea turtle, an osprey,<\/p>\n
gray-haired kingfisher, the so-called carqueja plant (an endemic species of seals),<\/p>\n
macelina plant (endemic composite plant species)<\/p>\n
and the endemic woody onion Saio.<\/p>\n
The set includes the world’s first 10-sided bimetallic coin.<\/p>\n
