Description:
The series of commemorative coins “Heroes and Creatures of Mythology” — which celebrates universal characters that connect successive generations — is inaugurated with the Unicorn. Today, we know him as a friendly white horse, with a harmless horn and a rainbow-hued mane.
The unicorn represents kindness, purity and the ability to dream. But it wasn't always like that.

Today, more than a theme for children's parties or a name given to successful start-ups, the unicorn is a testament to our infinite capacity to create stories and transform misunderstandings into legends.

This coin was designed by illustrator Susa Monteiro (1979), born in Beja, who has published several books, holds collective and individual exhibitions, and has already received several distinctions, making it one of the new trends in national illustration.
