This is the sixth coin of a series that will gather in nine gold commemorative collector coins nine historical figures, who played a decisive role in projecting Portugal in the World.



Father António Vieira (Lisbon, 6th of February 1608 – Salvador da Bahia, 18th of July 1697) was a Jesuit, writer, Portuguese orator and one of the most influential figures in the XVII century.



He was of note in politics, and as a missionary in Brazil; he was a fierce defender of the human rights of the native population, fighting against their exploitation and enslavement. In literature his works are of great importance for the Portuguese and Brazilian baroque period.
