The 1 Bolsominion coin features two faces: Captain Jair Messias Bolsonaro, president of the Republic, and Colonel Carlos Brilhante Ustra, one of the most notorious torturers of the dictatorship and hero of the Bolsonaro family. Over the head of Bolsonaro screaming, with his mouth open and eyes bulging, like a jellyfish, we place a well-known biblical phrase in Latin IPSA CONTERET CAPUT TUUM ("she will cut off the serpent's head"), as is customary on ancient coins and on some authoritarian government currencies. The word snake symbolized communism for the conservative Christian group TFP, Tradition, Family and Property that fought communism within the church and Brazilian politics. The phrase gained, nowadays, new contours. It's as if Eve said: #elenão.
