At first glance, the euro coins of the Portuguese Republic may give the impression that they all have a single national side design.
Each of the three nominal groups bears the seal of the first king of Portugal, Afonso I, of 1134, 1142 and 1144. surrounded by seven stylized castles and five Portuguese coats of arms. Designed by Vitor Manuel 32 Fernandez dos Santos.
After the death in 1112 of Afonso's father, Count Henry of Burgundy of Portugal (and at that time the country was feudally dependent on the kingdom of Leon and Castile), the power was taken over by little Afonso's mother, Teresa of Leon.
Relations between Afonso and his mother were quite tense. Already at the age of 11, the boy had his own political views, in 1120 he took the side of Teresa's political opponent, the Archbishop of Braga. As a result, the young prince and archbishop spent several years in exile.
In 1122, Afonso turned 14 years old, by the standards of the XII century. he came of age. He made himself a knight, raised an army and decided to take back control of his lands. In 1128, at Guimarães, he defeated his mother's troops. So he regained his rightful title of Count of Portugal. In addition, he defeated Alfonso's mother's ally Raymond of Castile, thus freeing the country from the political dependence of the kingdom of León and Castile.

On June 26, 1139, after the victory over the Moors in the battle of Ourik, Afonso was proclaimed king. In 1179, Pope Alexander III in his bull recognized Afonso as the king of Portugal as an independent state with the right to conquer the lands of the Moors. So Portugal finally established itself as an independent state.
