Brazil 1928 200 reis

from the Mountain Groan Collection

Shown is a copper-nickel 200 réis of the United States of Brazil. This is the regular issue, struck 1918-35. Commemorative 200 réis were issued in the 1930's which, not surprisingly, are much easier to find in nice condition than this type. The 200 réis gradually shrank until its abolition in 1942 with the reform of the coinage in that year.

Recorded mintage: 782,000.

Specification: 7.80 g, copper-nickel, 25 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 519.
