Comment
From Wikipedia:
Corcovado, which means "hunchback" in Portuguese, is a mountain in central Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is a 710-metre (2,329 ft) granite peak located in the Tijuca Forest, a national park.
Corcovado hill lies just west of the city center but is wholly within the city limits and visible from great distances. It is known worldwide for the 38-metre (125 ft) statue of Jesus atop its peak, entitled "Christ the Redeemer", which was voted as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by the Royal Monetary Authority of Bhutan to commemorate the 2014 FIFA World Cup held in Brazil. The coin features the official logo of the tournament on one side and the national emblem of Bhutan on the other. It has a limited mintage of 10,000 pieces, making it a rare and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
