5 Reais Goiás

Part of Brazil's ongoing commemorative series honoring individual states, this issue marks Goiás — a landlocked central state whose history pivots on the gold rushes of the early eighteenth century, when Vila Boa de Goiás briefly rivaled Ouro Preto as a processing center for interior gold extraction. The boom collapsed by the 1770s, leaving the region economically marginal for over a century until Brasília's construction in the late 1950s transformed the surrounding cerrado into the administrative heart of the country.

Casa da Moeda struck this in .925 silver with mintages typical of the state series — modest enough to sustain collector demand without entering general circulation.
