Those are really cool coins! They are especially interesting to me because I am trying to complete a full set of Brazilian coins. I'm not where close to getting these ones though. Very neat!

 

By the sweet beard of Zeus!

Sorry - getting used to the posts

I have several coins in this series - although the reverses are different

 

Okay - this is currency - granted - but my friend Don Pedro II makes them popular.

Notice one has the counter stamp that reduces the value - a normal Brazilian rip off scam by the government. This was normaly done with paper, not coins - coins were vacummed up.

 

Another reverse -

 

Is this a token or a coin? Can't be sure even from here...

 

I'll Contribute!

2000 Reis 1888 and 1000 Reis 1861

 

And just a few more!

2000 Reis 1913 (no dashes between stars), 2000 Reis 1922 (Centennial),
200 Reis 1901
