| Reverse description | The stainless steel center displays a large stylized numeral 1 rendered in bold relief, overlaid by a sweeping curved band evoking the design of the standard 1 Real circulation coin, with four five-pointed stars arranged along the arc referencing the Brazilian flag motif. The denomination REAL is inscribed across the lower central field in prominent lettering, with the date 2024 below. The bronze-plated steel outer ring is decorated with an incuse geometric pattern of diagonal lines and triangular motifs encircling the entire design, providing a decorative security element consistent with the standard bimetallic Real coinage series. |

| Additional information |
The real was introduced on July 1, 1994, as the centerpiece of the Plano Real — an economic stabilization program designed to break Brazil's cycle of hyperinflation, which had reached an annualized rate of roughly 2,700% in the months before the currency launched. The plan, architected largely by Fernando Henrique Cardoso as Finance Minister, succeeded where multiple predecessor currencies — the cruzeiro, cruzado, cruzado novo, cruzeiro real — had each failed within years of introduction.
Thirty years of continuous circulation without redenomination is genuinely unusual for a Brazilian currency.
