Brazil 1936 100 reis
This is one of a series of circulating commemoratives issued in the 1920's and 1930's which today form an interesting but inexpensive set. This particular one commemorates admiral Tamandaré and was issued 1936-38. It is the last silver coin struck for circulation in Brazil. The réis was abolished in 1942 with the reform of the coinage in that year.
