Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1932 Brazilian 200 Réis coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the colonization of Brazil by the Portuguese. The coin features an image of the Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral, who led the first European expedition to reach Brazil in 1500. The coin's design was created by the Brazilian artist and sculptor, Gastão Worms, and it was produced in a limited quantity of 10,000 pieces. Despite its relatively low mintage, the coin is still widely available to collectors today, making it an accessible and interesting piece of Brazilian numismatic history.
