Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Centavos (Eurico Gaspar Dutra) coin from Brazil is that it was the first coin to feature the image of a Brazilian president. The coin was introduced in 1948 and featured the image of President Eurico Gaspar Dutra, who served as the President of Brazil from 1946 to 1951. This was a significant departure from the previous design of Brazilian coins, which had traditionally featured images of royal figures or other symbols of the Portuguese colonial era. The introduction of the 50 Centavos coin with President Dutra's image marked a new era in Brazilian numismatics and reflected the country's growing independence and national identity.
