Interesting fact
The 500 Réis coin from Brazil, minted between 1924 and 1930, is notable for its unique design. It features a portrait of Brazil's first president, Deodoro da Fonseca, on one side, and the coat of arms of Brazil on the other. This coin was also the last of the 500 Réis denomination to be issued before it was replaced by the cruzeiro in 1942.
