Comment

Many counterfeits exist of 1935 coin.

Interesting fact

The 50 Réis coin from Brazil, minted between 1918 and 1935, features an interesting design on its reverse side. It depicts a mythical creature called the "redemoinho," which is a half-fish, half-horse creature that is said to represent the country's rich aquatic resources and its ability to overcome challenges. This unique design makes the coin stand out among other coins from the same era and adds to its collectibility.
