Commentary

14ème pièce de 2,50 Euro circulante du Portugal depuis 2008.
Pièce commémorative circulante issue de la série Patrimoine mondial de l’humanité-Unesco.
Le paysage viticole de l’île du Pico est classée par l’Unesco depuis 2004. L’île volcanique du Pico, deuxième de l’archipel des Açores, est une terre viticole attestée depuis le XVème siècle.
Le paysage y fut modelé par les hommes afin de pratiquer la viticulture en un long réseau de murs de pierres, courant parallèlement à la côte et remontant vers l’intérieur de l’île.
Ces murs de pierre protégent du vent et de l’eau de mer des milliers de petits enclos (currais) rectangulaires, accolés les uns aux autres.

14th circulating 2.50 Euro coin from Portugal since 2008. Circulating commemorative coin from the UNESCO World Heritage series. The wine-growing landscape of Pico Island has been listed by UNESCO since 2004. The volcanic island of Pico, the second largest in the Azores archipelago, has been a wine-growing area since the 15th century. The landscape was shaped by humans to practice viticulture in a long network of stone walls, running parallel to the coast and up towards the interior of the island. These stone walls protect thousands of small rectangular enclosures (currais), attached to each other, from the wind and sea water.
