Here is a nice Brazilian 2002 5 centavos with a strong Doubled Die Obverse with evidence of a die clash from the date. I featured this one in my Visiting Varieties, World Coin News column in late 2009 where I wrote:
"Not to be outdone by any country when it comes to massive doubled dies, Brazil continues into the 21st century by churning out one massive doubled die after another with dozens already known within the last decade that easily rival and often surpass the strength of the U.S. 1955 doubled die cent. The latest one to come in from [Curtis] Miller is on a 2002 5 centavos piece. It boasts a very strong doubled die obverse that shows best on BRASIL, the point of star to the right of the L of BRASIL, the wing feathers and top of the bird's head. Clash marks from the date show well on the reverse within the star. The clash marks are pointed out by the white arrows. Listed on 10/9/08 as VCR#1/DDO#1."
