@chronos, my Portuguese is not very good, but that is definitely not a coin. Rather it seems like a medal from 1965 that celebrated the 400th anniversary of the founding of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Give me a little while to figure out if it actually is gold.
Added: ok well the good news is that they did make them in gold. Here is an example from a Brazilian auction house:
Yes good question and perhaps one of our Brazilian members can weigh in. Unless you find someone for which this year, country, or celebration holds some special meaning, I would imagine that it is only worth the gold spot price. Sorry that I can't offer a more definitive opinion.
