Reverse description Central field depicts a perched macaw (ara) in right profile, rendered in fine relief detail, standing on a branch with its long tail feathers extending downward. The legend 'AMAZONIA' curves along the left periphery from bottom to top, while the denomination '40 REIS' appears in two lines in the upper right field. The species name 'Ara' is inscribed in smaller lettering at the lower right, completing the naturalistic wildlife composition.

Additional information

Amazonia has no recognized issuing authority — no sovereign state, central bank, or autonomous monetary body by that name has produced legal tender coinage. This piece is almost certainly a fantasy or novelty issue, produced for the collector or souvenir market rather than circulation.
