Historical significance

This coin is part of the second family of the Brazilian Real currency system, introduced in 1998 to improve durability and ease of identification. It represents Brazil's colonial history through the depiction of Dom Pedro I, the first emperor of Brazil, and the caravel, symbolizing the Portuguese arrival in 1500.

Estimated value

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals as it can strip the bronze plating. Store in a cool, dry place inside a non-PVC coin holder to prevent oxidation and 'green rot' (PVC damage).
