Comment
The production of Cruzeiro Novo (NCr$) coins continued after the change of monetary standard to Cruzeiro (Cr$) in 1970. Therefore, the Central Bank of Brazil considers coins after 1970 to belong to the new Cruzeiro monetary unit.
The Cruzeiro Novo coins (NCr$), (1967-1969), continued in use until 1980 alongside the Cruzeiro coins
Interesting fact
The 5 Centavos coin from Brazil, made of stainless steel and weighing 2.6 grams, has a unique feature - it has a concentric circle design on both sides, with the inner circle having a higher relief than the outer circle. This design provides an interesting visual effect and makes the coin easily recognizable.
