Overview

Historical significance

This coin belongs to a series of currency issued during a period of significant economic change and inflation in Brazil. The Cruzeiro underwent several revaluations and changes during the 20th century. This specific denomination was part of the currency system in use, likely in the 1970s, a time when Brazil was experiencing rapid industrialization and economic growth, but also high inflation, leading to frequent currency adjustments.

Estimated value

The value of this coin is relatively low for common dates in circulated condition, typically ranging from $0.25 to $2 USD. Rare dates or uncirculated conditions might fetch more.

Care & preservation

Handle the coin by its edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a non-PVC coin holder or album. Do not clean the coin unless you are an experienced numismatist, as improper cleaning can significantly reduce its value.
