Overview

Commemorative bimetallic coin with a silver-colored center and gold-colored outer ring, featuring the 50th-anniversary logo of the Central Bank of Brazil.

Historical significance

Issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Banco Central do Brasil (1965–2015). It celebrates the institution's role in the country's economic stability.

Obverse (front)

Features the 50th-anniversary logo of the Banco Central do Brasil, the inscription 'BANCO CENTRAL DO BRASIL' on the ring, and the dates '1965-2015'.

Reverse (back)

The standard reverse for the 1 Real coin: features the Southern Cross constellation, the face value '1 REAL', 'BRASIL', and symbolic marajoara art patterns.

Estimated value

$0.50 - $1.50 in circulated condition; $3.00 - $8.00 in Uncirculated / Flor de Cunho condition.

What drives this coin's value

Condition is the primary factor. While a large number were produced, coins in 'Flor de Cunho' (Mint State) carry a premium. Error versions such as 'bifacial' or 'rotated die' are highly valuable.

Grade assessment

Extremely Fine (XF) - shows light wear on high points but retains original detail and some luster.

Mintage & rarity

50,000,000 minted. Common, but widely hoarded by the public in Brazil as a souvenir.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Verify weight (7g) and magnetic properties (both center and ring are magnetic). Check for the crispness of the marajoara patterns on the reverse.

Notable varieties & errors

Look for 'Reverso Invertido' (180-degree rotation error) or 'Reverso Horizontal' (90-degree rotation error), which are rare and highly sought after.

Similar coins

Standard circulation 2nd series 1 Real coins (Effigy of Republic); other commemoratives like the 2016 Olympics or Juscelino Kubitschek issues.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the reactive bronze plating. Store in a PVC-free flip or capsule to prevent oxidation (tarnishing) of the ring.
