However, make no mistake. Rare coins are not always those from the time of Colonial Brazil. Some from the beginning of the Real's circulation in the country may be much more valuable.
That's what Bruno Pellizzari, vice-president of the Brazilian Numismatic Society, said in an interview with Brazilian CNN. “What day the price of a piece is not the age, but the number of coins made in that specific year and the condition”, he explained.
Also, like rare notes, coins with some sort of mold error can be worth a fortune. Not to mention the commemorative editions.

In Brazil, there were three issues of these coins: in 1975, 1985 and 1995. The items had symbols of national agriculture, such as sugar cane, coffeeand soy.
Among collectors, the 25 centavos coin from 1995 can be worth between R$20 and R$35. The 10 cents, from the same year, may be worth more: from R$ 60 to R$ 85.
R$ 1 coin commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
In 1998, the Central Bank of Brazil and the Casa da Moeda of Brazil launched a R$1 coin to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, proclaimed at the UN General Assembly. Today, the item can fetch from R$200 to R$330 on the collectors' market.
Coins with inverted reverse
Ever notice that when you flip your coin, the other side has the same image orientation? Some images do not have this and the face has an inverted orientation with respect to the crown.
