| Additional information |
Brazil's Olympic commemorative real series was produced in the lead-up to the 2016 Rio Games — the first Summer Olympics held in South America. The Banco Central issued a substantial run of bimetallic circulation commemoratives across multiple sports, meaning these pieces entered ordinary commerce rather than collector packaging, and genuine wear is not unusual on surviving examples.
Judo has particular resonance in Brazil: the country has been among the sport's most decorated Olympic nations since the 1960s, with athletes like Aurélio Miguel and Rogério Sampaio having claimed gold before Rio.
