Interesting fact

The 100 Réis (Tamandaré) coin from Brazil, minted between 1936 and 1938, features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual national emblem or coat of arms, the coin bears an image of a tamandua, a small, tree-dwelling mammal native to South America, which gives the coin its name. This design was chosen to represent the country's rich fauna and to promote awareness of its natural heritage.
