<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 69166, member: 669&quot;]Hi Cory.&nbsp; Let me to welcome you to the forum, as this is the first posting I have seen of yours since returning from a trip..The 2002 3rd Ed. Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins 18th Century volume lists all Brazilian coins in Reis (5 to 20,000).&nbsp; According to the conversion information in the catalog, 8 Escuedo would be equal to 51,200 Reis, and the largest denomination listed is 20,000 (3-1/8 Escuedos).&nbsp; The earliest date listed for any coin denominated 6,400 Reis (1 Escuedo) or more, is 1927.</p><p><br /></p><p>Presumably yours is dated 1711, but what leads you to believe that its a Brazilian 8 Escuedo?</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps you can post a picture of your coin, or provide a detailed description of its size and weight, apparent metallic composition, legends and design elements.&nbsp; I believe we do have some members with expertise in coins of that vintage.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;in Krause[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
