Brazil's Central Bank released a sprawling series of bimetallic circulation coins for the Rio 2016 Games — one of the largest Olympic coin programs ever issued for general circulation rather than as collector sets. Boxing appeared on one of the later-released sports designs, part of a run that ultimately covered 16 individual disciplines across multiple years of production leading up to August 2016.
