The catalog description&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt; noted, &quot;[[Brazil|BRAZIL]]. Brass 200 Reis Token, ND (ca. 1940). NGC MS-63. Leprosarium coinage. Issued by Colonia Santa Teresa (abbreviated and inscribed C.S.T. on the reverse).&quot; Leprosy, a wasting and disfiguring disease, has aroused fear and panic in societies around the world since Biblical times. To reduce contagion, victims were confined to leprosariums. In 1897, a medical conference in Berlin proposed the use of special money therein to prevent the spread of the disease. This was taken up in several countries, including Panama, Colombia, Japan, Philippines, Malaysia and elsewhere. Brass coins were issued for the Colonia Santa Teresa in Brazil in denominations of 100 to 1000 réis. It was proven in the 1950's that the disease did not contaminate money and leprosarium coinage was gradually withdrawn. The Santa Teresa coinage was virtually unobtainable to collectors until a number of high grade sets came on the market some years ago. These were probably never issued.<br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.<br /> <br /> ''Specification:'' brass, 23 mm diameter. <br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' KM-L2. <br /> <br /> ''[[Bibliography|Source:]]''<br /> * Amato, Claudio, and Irlei S.
