Cristiano Ronaldo's home country Portugal continues to find unique ways to honour the football legend who is known to be its greatest goal machine with no signs of slowing down anytime soon, report agencies.
With over 130 goals for his national team along with numerous accolades, including leading Portugal to a historic victory in Euro 2016 and lifting the UEFA Nations League trophy with A Selecao in 2019, Ronaldo's impact on the country's national football is undeniable.
Ronaldo, 39, recently added another historic football accolade under his name as he scored his 900th goal during a UEFA Nations League match against Scotland, earlier this month.
Additionally, the four-time European Golden Shoe winner's star power seems to know no bounds as he recently made social media history by becoming the first person to have one billion followers across various platforms.
According to online sport portal Sportskeeda, after all these magnificent achievements and records, Portugal has reportedly announced that it is ready to launch a "7" Euro coin to honour its most famous and successful son.
The coin will have an image of the five-time Ballon d'Or award winner embossed on it and will also have "CR7" marked on it. Interestingly, it will be acceptable as a currency across the nation once it is launched.
The number seven is synonymous with Ronaldo who has donned that shirt number for almost his entire career.
