Real (1994-?) Coin List
The Brazilian Real, introduced in 1994, marked a milestone in Brazil's economic history. This currency emerged as part of the Real Plan, an economic strategy designed to combat hyperinflation and stabilize the country's economy. Since its implementation, the Real has witnessed important changes in Brazilian society and economy.
Implementation and first currencies
On July 1, 1994, the Real entered circulation, replacing the Cruzeiro Real. The first Real coins were minted in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 10, 25 and 50 cents, in addition to 1 Real. These pieces featured designs reflecting Brazilian fauna and flora, as well as national symbols. The 1 Real coin, for example, showed the national coat of arms on the obverse and the effigy of the Republic on the reverse. The minting quality and the materials used, such as stainless steel and a bronze-aluminum alloy, marked a significant advance in Brazilian numismatics.
Evolution and commemorative series
Over the years, the Real has undergone several modifications in its coins. In 1998, the bimetallic 1 Real coin was introduced, which became an icon of the Brazilian currency. In addition, the Central Bank of Brazil has issued numerous commemorative series, celebrating historical, cultural and sporting events. Among these, the coins of the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Brazil in 2000, those of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and several dedicated to Brazilian personalities stand out. These issues have not only enriched the country's numismatic panorama, but have also served as educational and cultural tools, promoting knowledge of Brazilian history and values among the population.
