Front: Juscelino Kubitschek de Oliveira (1902–1976), 21st President of Brazil (1956–1961), known as the 'President of Hope' and founder of Brasília, the new capital city inaugurated in 1960. His administration oversaw rapid industrialization under the slogan '50 years in 5,' making him one of Brazil's most transformative leaders. The note also depicts industrial scenes including oil refineries and power infrastructure, symbolizing Brazil's modernization during his presidency. The motto 'DEUS SEJA LOUVADO' (God be praised) appears at lower center.

Back: The National Congress of Brazil (Congresso Nacional) in Brasília, the bicameral legislature consisting of the Federal Senate and Chamber of Deputies, housed in the iconic modernist building designed by Oscar Niemeyer. The twin towers represent the two legislative chambers, with the dome (Senate) and inverted dome (Chamber) flanking them. Completed in 1960 as part of Kubitschek's vision for Brasília, this structure remains one of the most recognizable symbols of Brazilian governance and modernist architecture.

The story

Background & history

The Cruzado was introduced on 28 February 1986 under the Cruzado Plan (Plano Cruzado) as part of an economic shock program to combat hyperinflation, replacing the second Cruzeiro at a rate of 1,000:1. This 100 Cruzados note was part of the initial series issued by the Banco Central do Brasil. The currency was short-lived, lasting only until 1989 when it was replaced by the Cruzado Novo due to renewed inflation. The choice of Juscelino Kubitschek honored the president most associated with Brazil's mid-century economic ambitions and the construction of Brasília.
