This specimen was struck at the Rio mint in [[Brazil]] in 1828. The minting of copper eighty réis began in 1693 and continued until 1833, well after independence. The eighty réis was the same size as that of the old forty réis. This type was struck at Bahia 1824-30, Cuiaba 1823-31, Goias 1823-30 and Rio 1823-31. Counterfeits are numerous, particularly of the Bahia issues, which were cruder than Rio issues.

By the 1830's, so many had been issued that the public began to refuse them. In 1835, the government called them in and countermarked them to half their former value to increase their acceptance. Private and counterfeit countermarks also exist, making this series confusing but fascinating to collect.

''Recorded mintage:'' 17,892,000.

''Specification:'' copper.

''Catalog reference:'' KM 353.1 (without countermark), KM 436.1 (with countermark).
