It's been a while since I posted one of my coins. I am continuously adding fresh pieces to the stack but after posting coins for years and years I got a bit tired of it.

Anyways, here's one of my most recent additions:

Yeah, I got a bit silly with the photos πŸ˜…

Here's are some more "serious" close ups:

A train coin! 😊 πŸš† πŸš‚ πŸš† πŸš‚



So, what we have here is a commemorative piece from Portugal minted in 2020. The denomination is 7.5 euro and on the reverse the coin highlights the Douro Line.

This is one of the oldest lines in the country running through a beautiful landscape and it's also listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage site:

The Douro line (Portuguese: Linha do Douro) is a 99-mile (160 km) railway line in northern Portugal that runs from Ermesinde to the eastern terminus at Pocinho. The line runs close to the Douro River for much of its route, offering scenic views of the river and valley. Passenger trains are operated by Comboios de Portugal (CP) and run between Porto SΓ£o Bento and Pocinho, taking 3 hours and 20 minutes. Freight trains operated by Medway also run on the line. source



In the middle of the obverse side we have the the coat of arms of Portugal surrounded by the name of the country.

The coin is part of a series dedicated to the Ibero-American countries. Fyi, these are countries or territories where Spanish or Portuguese are r predominant languages.

And this is why the big Portugal coat of arms is surrounded by the arms of Ecuador, Spain, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Peru.



Nothing special on the edge in case you wonder:

When it comes to silver we have 13.5 g of 0.500 purity.

Yeah, nothing special.. But the coin is really shiny and I really like the design!

I don't have many train coins in my collection so it's a nice one for a difference. And the 8 arms on the other side is pretty epic!



All in all, a pretty nice coin if you ask me πŸš‚ πŸš‚

Hello friend!
I use to do collection of coins, but only the normal ones. It is ages that I don't do any collection. I also have some philately stamps. I don't have idea how I can sell it...

What a fantastic addition to your collection! πŸš‚ The Douro Line coin is not only a beautiful piece but also a wonderful nod to Portugal's rich history and scenic landscapes.
The detail with the coat of arms surrounded by other nations is a nice touch.
Thanks for sharing these photos, even the "silly" onesβ€”it's great to see your enthusiasm! 😊
Keep up the awesome collecting!

It's a nice coin. The train looks nice but Douro sounds a bit weird as a name.

Love this coin! The design's clean and shiny, and it’s got such a cool backstory with the Douro Line. Feels like it’s more than just a coinβ€”it's a piece of history. Totally a gem for collectors, especially train fans! #cent #silvergoldstackers #coin
