| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate Juscelino Kubitschek, the president responsible for the construction of Brasília — a capital city built from nothing in the Brazilian interior in under four years, completed in 1960. His administration funded the project through aggressive deficit spending and money printing, triggering inflation that plagued Brazil for decades. The coin appeared over forty years after his death in a 1976 car accident, long suspected by some as politically motivated, though never conclusively proven.
