According to a diploma, published in Diário da República, in the case of the €7.5 coins from the “ISEG 111 Years” collection, the Mint is authorised to mint 2,889 coins in silver alloy “with a content of 92.5% with a special finish” and 111 silver alloy coins “with a minimum content of 99.9%”, for a total amount never exceeding €247,500.
In the case of the “20 Years of Euro” collection, the limit is €165,000 and up to 3,000 coins will be minted in silver.
The diploma does not attach images of the appearance of the new coins.
And where can we buy these mints ?

Coins are better than paper money, because paper with time fades or disintegrates. Coins are made of metal and can lost and stay good for hundreds of years. Saving the Government money from not having to keep printing paper money. Also it's good for the coin collectors.

A story about coins WITHOUT pictures of the coins is just terrible and should never be printed. Same goes for bank officials or government officials holding a coin. A coin collector does not care about seeing pics of the the people. Maybe a pic of the artist who designed the coin but a PICTURE OF THE COIN OR COINS SHOULD ALWAYS BE WITH THE ARTICLE SO WE COLLECTORS CAN AT LEAST SEE THE COIN. A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS!
