Comment
Varieties exist for the 7 in the date on the obverse with the serif at the top of the bottomInteresting fact
The 50 Centavos coin from Brazil, produced between 1970 and 1975, has a unique feature. It was the first coin in Brazil to bear the image of a famous person. The coin features a portrait of Getúlio Vargas, a former president of Brazil, on its obverse side. This was a significant departure from the traditional design of Brazilian coins, which typically featured symbols or allegorical figures. The inclusion of a real person on the coin was a bold move and marked a shift in the country's numismatic history.
