I am trying to find out why is Brazil with an “s”. Cant seem to find. Also is that wear and tear on the “S”?
That's BRASIL in the Portuguese language. Brazilian Portuguese is the official language of Brazil. In English we say it and spell it Brazil.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil Circulation wear on the letters.
A Coin from France would be spelled REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAIS Most foreign coins spell their countries in their own language
