Stack's Bowers February 2023 Collector's Choice sale, lot 71455
SB223-71455r.jpg

This specimen was lot 71455 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2023), where it sold for $60. The catalog description[1] noted, "BRAZIL. 200 Reis, 1893. Rio de Janeiro Mint. NGC AU-55. Delivering a wholesome charm and appeal, the present specimen displays wonderful details and just a light pattern of wear on the surfaces. Escaping any signs of aggressive marking or handling, we expect many competitive bids for this specimen." This type was struck 1889, 1893-1900. The 1900 is the only scarce date. It is accompanied by similar 100 réis (KM 492). It is much scarcer in nice condition than the SCWC indicates, despite the large mintage. The 200 réis gradually shrank until its abolition in 1942 with the reform of the coinage in that year.

Recorded mintage: 2,586,000.

Specification: copper-nickel, 14.8 g, 32.5 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM-493.
