Comment
MagneticInteresting fact
The 100 Cruzeiros coin was part of a series of coins introduced in 1985 to replace the old cruzeiro real currency, which had been in use since 1942. The coin was designed by the Brazilian artist and engraver, Afonso D'Aguiar, and it features the image of a stylized bird on one side and the Brazilian coat of arms on the other. The use of stainless steel in the coin's composition was a deliberate choice to make it more durable and resistant to corrosion, given the high humidity and tropical climate of Brazil.
