| Reverse description | A uniformed left-facing bust portrait of Admiral Joaquim Marques Lisboa, Marquis of Tamandaré and founder of the Brazilian Navy, occupies the central field. The portrait is rendered in fine detail, showing the admiral in full military dress with epaulettes and decorations. The name 'TAMANDARÉ' is inscribed in two parts across the field, divided by the portrait. The design reflects the commemorative series honouring prominent figures of Brazilian history issued during the Vargas era. |

| Additional information |
The Tamandaré centenary series was commissioned under Getúlio Vargas as part of a broader push to construct a pantheon of Brazilian national heroes during the Estado Novo's consolidation period. Joaquim Marques Lisboa, Marquis of Tamandaré, commanded the Brazilian fleet during the Paraguayan War of 1864–1870 — the deadliest conflict in South American history, which killed an estimated 60–70% of Paraguay's total population.
The three-year run across 1936–1938 kept mintages modest. The Casa da Moeda do Brasil produced this denomination in copper-nickel rather than the cupronickel alloys common to earlier Brazilian minor coinage, a quiet materials shift that went largely unremarked at the time.
