Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 400 Réis (400th Anniversary of the Discovery) 1900 coin from Brazil is that it was minted to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the discovery of Brazil by Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500. The coin features an image of Cabral's ship, the "São Gabriel," on one side, and the Brazilian coat of arms on the other. This coin was a significant issue for Brazil, as it marked the beginning of the country's modern history and its emergence as an independent nation.
