On July 1, 1994 the currency of the Republic of Brazil was reassigned as the "Real" or Reais in plural. It was an attempt to give stability to the economy of the country facing the challenges of the new modern era. Before this time the currency's name was the "Cruzeiro" which circulated from 1942 to 1994. The Brazilian Ministry of Finance determined that using the currency name established by the Portuguese would eventually prove itself successful.

This two nice items shown here are One "Centavo" or 1/100th of a Real. Its design brought rays or lines on both sides surrounding the determined depictions. The lines cover leaves and it became a separation in artistry from the classical Brazilian coinage. 

In my own words.
