Brazil 1932 200 reis rev DSL.jpg

Shown is a copper-nickel two hundred réis of the United States of Brazil. This is the regular issue, struck 1918-35. Commemorative two hundred réis were issued in the 1930's which, not surprisingly, are much easier to find in nice condition than this type. The denomination gradually shrank until its abolition in 1942 with the reform of the coinage in that year.

Recorded mintage: 761,000.

Specification: 7.8 g, copper-nickel, 25 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 519.
