Interesting fact
The 500 Cruzeiros coin was the first coin in Brazil to feature a portrait of a real person, namely, the country's first president, Deodoro da Fonseca. This was a departure from the traditional practice of featuring allegorical figures or symbols on coins. The coin's design was created by the artist, Marcello do Campo, and it was released into circulation in 1985.
