<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Anduin, post: 2273397, member: 76241&quot;]This 1000 réis is the key date of a type struck in Brazil 1849-52. The other three dates of the type are reasonably available. It is part of the second reform of the coinage under the Empire; the first, in 1835, revalued the Spanish American peso from 960 réis to 1200 réis. The second reform of 1848 raised the peso to 2000 réis, where it remained until 1900. With a small mintage of 965 pieces, this is by far the rarest date of this type. </p><p>Recorded mintage: 965.</p><p>Specification: 12.75 g, .917 fine silver, .376 troy oz ASW.</p><p>Catalog reference: KM 459, Russo-P566.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]453119[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]453120[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
