Brazil 20 reais Centennial of Carlos Drummond Andrade PR69 PCGS gold coin 2002

The 2002 Brazil 20 Reais gold coin honors the Centenary of Carlos Drummond de Andrade (1902–2002), one of Brazil’s greatest poets and a defining voice of modern Portuguese literature. Struck in gold and graded PR69DCAM by PCGS, it combines refined artistry with literary symbolism. The obverse presents a detailed portrait of Drummond with his signature round glasses, beside the denomination “20 REAIS” and the inscription “BRASIL”, enhanced by a stylized quill motif—a nod to his life’s work as a writer. The reverse features a creative typographic layout of his name — Carlos Drummond de Andrade — along with his birth and centenary years 1902–2002 and an abstract outline of his face, merging word and image in poetic harmony. Celebrated for his humanist themes and delicate humor, Drummond gave voice to the soul of Brazil. This coin, part of the national commemorative program, is a radiant tribute to intellect, creativity, and cultural legacy.
