Brazil's Central Bank issued a sprawling series of bimetallic 1 Real coins tied to the Rio 2016 Games — one of the largest Olympic circulation-coin programs any host nation had produced. The Paralympic Swimming piece was part of the subset honoring the Paralympic disciplines specifically, reflecting pressure from disability rights advocates who had successfully lobbied for equal representation across the commemorative program.
