    Recently an uncle of mine sent a stash of coins home with my mom to give to me. It was a stash of world coins which had Canadian, Mexican, Bahamas, Peru, England and Euros. The oldest being from 1984, until I found this. 104 years old, pretty cool.

    From what I've found its 90% silver, and this is the stars with circle obverse which is the more desirable variety. NGC shows a mintage of "1,570,000 est." And this is only for the year, not the variety. I've run out of time to s each this morning, but figured I'd share it here. What else can you tell me about this coin?

    I like your coin but I can't for the life of me find your coin on NGC. WHY?!?!?!

    You're reverse is different though. That's the part that I can't find on any reference sites.

    Looks like KM 510 to me, referencing the 2014 Standard Catalog of World Coins 1901-2000.

    Here are mine. Both varieties. They made two different versions of the 1912 for the 1000, 2000 and I think 500 reis for some reason. 1912 brazil 1000 reis type 2.jpg 1912 brazil 1000 reis.jpg

    Nice finding, this is the "1000 reis estrelas ligadas" or linked stars for obvious reasons. 1.042.000 minted. They changed the reis in this year hence there are two types of 500, 1000 and 2000 reis for this year. Regards

    I have the 2,000 in NGC MS65. Unfortunately with the Brazil market so weak probably worth under a $100 even in gem.

    Couple of them that are worth probably less than $100. So little, in fact, that it makes little sense to sell them. bra1913a.jpg bra1913b.jpg bra1907a.jpg bra1907b.jpg
