| Reverse description | Central field dominated by a bundle of indigenous weapons — crossed arrows, a spear, a club, and feathered shafts — bound together at the centre, evoking the Tupiniquim warrior culture. Below this device, the denomination is displayed in large bold numerals and letters across two lines. Two raised dots flank the numeral '100' at mid-field. The engraver's initials appear discreetly within the design near the bundle. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark four centuries since the establishment of the first Portuguese captaincies in Brazil, this coin appeared during one of the most turbulent years in the country's modern history — Getúlio Vargas had seized power in 1930, and the commemorative program was state-directed during a period of aggressive nationalist consolidation. The São Paulo Constitutionalist Revolution broke out the same year this coin circulated.
