This coin was part of the 'Cruzeiro' reforms and transition periods in Brazilian currency. It reflects the post-WWI economic era in South America where aluminum-bronze replaced silver for mid-range denominations due to rising metal costs.

Estimated Value

$1.00 - $10.00 USD (Highly dependent on condition; the specimen in the image shows significant wear and surface damage/corrosion).

Care Instructions

Store in a PVC-free coin holder or flip to prevent further oxidation. Avoid cleaning or polishing as this removes the natural patina and can significantly decrease numismatic value. Handle by the edges only.
