| Obverse description | The obverse features a colorized detail from the celebrated historical painting 'Independência ou Morte' (Independence or Death) by Pedro Américo, depicting Emperor Dom Pedro I astride his horse with his sword raised aloft at the moment of the Proclamation of Independence on 7 September 1822. The central figure is rendered with dramatic intensity, capturing the imperial regalia and the heroic gesture associated with Brazil's declaration of independence. The legend arcing around the design identifies the commemorative subject and date. The composition is presented in vivid polychrome color applied to the coin's surface, giving the scene a painterly, artistic quality consistent with its source material. |
