Brazil 1934 100 reis

from the Mountain Groan Collection

Shown is a copper-nickel hundred réis of the United States of Brazil. This is the regular issue, struck 1918-35. Commemorative hundred réis were issued in the 1930's which, not surprisingly, are much easier to find in nice condition than this type. The hundred réis gradually shrank (KM 503, KM 518, KM 527, KM 536 and KM 544) until its abolition in 1942 with the reform of the coinage in that year.

Recorded mintage: 3,614,000.

Specification: 4.95 g, copper-nickel, 21 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 518.
