The first specimen was lot 23287 in Heritage sale 3020 (Long Beach, September 2012), where it sold for $470. The catalog description[1] noted, "Pedro II 200 Reis 1871, MS66 NGC, lightly toned with full mint brilliance, very rare grade for this date and type." This copper-nickel two hundred réis superseded the silver, dime-sized coin of the same denomination issued 1854-69. This type was minted 1871-84 and is not rare but very scarce in nice condition, suggesting heavy and prolonged use. A slightly modified type (KM 484) was issued 1886-89 and is slightly more available. The denomination was continued under the Republic until 1901.
Recorded mintage: 3,650,000.
Specification: copper-nickel.
Catalog reference: KM 478.
