Recently, the trading of coins has become a trend. This increased interest in the topic grew, especially after the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. At that time, the Central Bank released copies of commemorative coins for the games held in 2016.

Today, besides the Olympic coins, there are others that catch the attention of collectors and enthusiasts. One such coin that attracts the interest of many is the 50-cent coin released for circulation in 1975.

Curiosities about the Coin

The coin, which as mentioned was created in the 1970s, is part of a collection by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, also known as FAO.

This coin features a zebu bull to symbolize the importance of the animal to the Brazilian economy and the need to combat malnutrition. Additionally, this rare model has the image of a woman with loose hair.

This coin, which had a mintage of approximately 85 million copies and is valuable depending on its condition, was made of stainless steel, has a smooth edge, and displays its face value and the date of its creation in its design.

The coin, designed by artist Benedicto de Araújo Ribeiro, has a diameter of 21mm and weighs 2.64g. According to experts, despite being demonetized, this model still attracts attention due to its beauty and the historical symbolism it represents.

Today, depending on the condition, which is the main item to be assessed at the time of purchase, the coin can cost up to R$15 in 2024. Thus, a person who has this model and wants to sell it can do so at specialized stores, online or physical, and numismatic auction houses.

Currently, auction houses are good places to sell these items, as the audience is often segmented and willing to acquire rare coins. However, specialized websites and buyers can offer good deals, meaning they are also good options.
