BRAZIL
Brazil issued a note in celebration of the 150th anniversary of
Brazilian independence from Portugal. The front of the note
portrays five people, representing the different ethnic groups that
shared in the development of modern Brazil and in the quest for
independence. The back of the note illustrates five different
maps of Brazil. The maps portray the different boundaries and
cities during the different periods of development of the
country.
