Interesting fact
The 200 Réis (Mauá) coin from Brazil, produced between 1936 and 1938, has an interesting feature. It was designed by the artist, Guilherme Rau, who included a subtle detail on the coin's reverse side. If you look closely, you'll notice that the image of the coffee plant, which represents Brazil's agriculture, has a tiny bird perched on one of its branches. This small bird is actually a finch, which is a nod to the coin's designer, as "Rau" means "finch" in Portuguese. This tiny detail adds a touch of personality to the coin and highlights the attention to detail that went into its design.
