Interesting fact
The 100 Réis coin commemorating the 400th anniversary of colonization in Brazil has an interesting design feature. On the obverse side, it features a portrait of Pedro Álvares Cabral, the Portuguese explorer who led the colonization of Brazil in 1500. However, the reverse side of the coin depicts a map of Brazil with a prominent image of a Native American, which is a nod to the indigenous people who inhabited the land before the arrival of European colonizers. This design choice highlights the complex history of colonization and the impact it had on the indigenous population.
