Interesting fact

The 10 Centavos coin from Brazil was designed by the artist and engraver, Laura de Almeida Prado. She was one of the first women to design coins for the Brazilian Mint, and her work on this coin was particularly notable for its depiction of the Brazilian landscape and wildlife. The coin features an image of a jaguar, which was a symbol of strength and power in Brazilian culture at the time.
