| Additional information |
Brazil's mint produced an extensive series of bimetallic commemoratives tied to the Rio 2016 Games, with individual coins assigned to specific sports — paracanoe among them — as part of a broader push to spotlight Paralympic disciplines alongside Olympic ones. The series ran across multiple years of issue preceding the Games themselves, meaning coins dated 2015 saw circulation well before the torch arrived in Rio.
