Interesting fact

The 1 Cruzeiro 1990 coin was designed by the Brazilian artist and sculptor, Marcello do Campo. The coin features a stylized image of a coffee plant on one side, which was a nod to Brazil's rich coffee-producing history. On the other side, the coin features the coat of arms of Brazil, along with the denomination and year of issue. The use of stainless steel in the coin's production was a deliberate choice to make it more durable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring that it would remain in circulation for a long time.
