<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sullykerry2, post: 2337720, member: 57121&quot;]Here are two of the 960 Reis representing one from the Rio Mint (1819) and the other from the Bahia Mint (1815). Both Brazilian coins were over struck on 8 Reales.&nbsp; The 1815 for example was over struck on a Chilean 1813 8 Reales KM 80 1813 -So FJ. </p><p><br /></p><p>Note the differences in the strike quality (i.e. the Crown).&nbsp; </p><p>The armilary sphere on the 1819 piece has the Portuguese Royal Family&#039;s crest. The 1815 has it separate.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just came back from cycling through Portugal in September (Lisbon to Santiago de Compostela in Spain).&nbsp; There is so much history and interconnectivity with Brazil and Portugal&#039;s other colonies.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]474684[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]474685[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]474683[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]474686[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
