| Additional information |
Trial pieces from Casa da Moeda do Brasil in this period document the mint's testing program ahead of the Plano Real, the stabilization package launched in July 1994 that replaced the cruzeiro real and ended years of hyperinflation that had, at its peak, exceeded 2,000% annually. Whether this specific piece preceded final production specifications or explored an alternative alloy path is difficult to confirm from surviving documentation alone.
