Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Centimos (Trial Strike; Getúlio Vargas) 1941 from Brazil is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in the country. The coin was issued during the presidency of Getúlio Vargas, who implemented a series of economic and political reforms aimed at modernizing Brazil and addressing issues such as inflation and poverty. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin's design and production were of high quality, featuring a detailed portrait of Vargas on the obverse and the Brazilian coat of arms on the reverse. The coin's nickel brass composition and relatively low weight of 4.7 grams also make it stand out among other coins of the time.
