Imagine earning R$ 30 thousand from a few simple ten-cent coins? This became a reality due to certain details that catch the eyes of collectors, known as numismatists.
The ten-cent coin we are talking about is, in fact, a cruzeiro minted in 1946. It features the image of former president Getúlio Vargas on its obverse. What makes it so special is the inscription “OM” positioned above Vargas's image.
In this context, OM refers to the engraver Orlando Moutinho Maio. In addition, on the reverse side of the cruzeiro, the date appears just above a star. And on this side, we can also see the inscription of the engraver Benedito Araújo Ribeiro (BR).
Dive into the history of this distinctive cruzeiro
The combination of Vargas's depiction, the value of one cruzeiro and the OM inscription is exactly what makes this coin one of the most exclusive and coveted cruzeiro pieces. The inscription was rarely seen on these ten-cent coins.
Only a limited number of coins contain this unique mark, increasing their value in the collectors' world. Thus, it becomes a treasure that recalls a distinctive chapter of the Brazilian economy.
