The central star bears the Southern Cross constellation rendered in relief within a circular medallion. The circular legend REPÚBLICA DOS ESTADOS UNIDOS DO BRASIL runs along the periphery in raised Latin lettering, engraved in the style associated with Orlando Moutinho Maia. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the bold numeral '1' dominating the upper portion of the field in a large, deeply struck serif style. Beneath it, the denomination legend CRUZEIRO is inscribed in wide capital letters, separated from the date by a double horizontal rule. The four-digit date 1956 is positioned in the lower segment of the field between the double rules and the rim, completing a clean, typographic design with no additional ornamental elements. |
