The minting of copper five réis began with a brief issue in 1694-95 but did not begin in earnest until 1749. This specimen was struck at the Lisbon mint for Brazil in 1768-74. Many were countermarked in 1809 to raise their value to ten réis. The last five réis was issued in 1797. Counterfeits are numerous but are collected alongside the genuine issues.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: copper; this specimen 3.7 g, 25 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM 173.3, Russo 184.
