| Reverse description | Two naturalistic Acara cichlid fish (Geophagus sp.) are depicted swimming to the right in a detailed underwater scene, with the larger fish prominently rendered in the foreground showing finely engraved scale and fin detail, and a smaller specimen visible behind it to the left. Rocky substrate and aquatic vegetation are shown along the lower field, conveying a sense of the fish's natural Amazonian habitat. The legend 'ACARÁ' is inscribed in capital letters along the upper arc of the coin. |

| Additional information |
By 1992, Brazil was cycling through currency denominations at a rate that made long-term planning nearly impossible. The cruzeiro had been reintroduced in 1990 under the Collor Plan — itself a desperate measure that included the temporary freezing of private bank accounts — only to be replaced by the cruzeiro real in 1993. This 1000-cruzeiro piece represents the inflating denominations of a country where the annual rate would peak near 2,500% in 1993.
The short two-year window before redenomination keeps circulated survivors of this type in genuine abundance, but uncirculated examples are less common than the mintage figures suggest.
