Slight signs of wear on the sleeve.

The 2006 BU Euro coin set is an official numismatic set issued by Portugal. It contains the eight common euro coins, ranging from 1 cent to 2 euros, minted in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) quality.

Each coin features the standard characteristics of euro coins, with a common face indicating the face value and a national face specific to Portugal. The 1, 2 and 5 cent coins are made of copper-plated steel, displaying a design of the royal seal of 1134. The 10, 20 and 50 cent coins are made of yellow metal alloy, representing a royal seal of 1142. The 1 and 2 euro coins are bimetallic. The 1 euro coin features the castles and coat of arms of the country surrounded by European stars. The 2 euro coin depicts Guimarães Castle, a symbol of Portuguese history.

The set is packaged in a specially designed case to protect and showcase the coins. The case is usually illustrated with motifs and inscriptions relating to Portugal and the year of issue. The BU condition ensures that each coin has a brilliant and flawless appearance, making them particularly attractive to collectors.

This set represents a testimony to the adoption of the euro by Portugal and is a collector's item prized by numismatists interested in European monetary history and the national particularities of euro coins.
