| Reverse description | The large numeral 1 dominates the upper field, set against a background of diagonal parallel lines radiating from the lower left, creating a dynamic graphic effect. The denomination CRUZEIRO is inscribed in bold raised lettering across the center, with the date 1980 appearing in the lower field flanked by two small mint marks. The word PROVA, denoting proof or pattern status, appears in small lettering to the left of the numeral in the mid-field. |

| Additional information |
Prova pieces from Brazil's late authoritarian period occupy an awkward documentary niche — struck by the Casa da Moeda do Brasil as internal approval samples before full production authorization, they were never intended for collectors and rarely left official hands. The 1 Cruzeiro cruzeiro series itself was already fighting a losing battle against inflation by 1979; within four years the denomination had been effectively rendered trivial by price levels that would eventually force the 1986 Cruzado reform.
