World Coin Wednesday
(Edited)
Afternoon everyone....
It has been a long while since I’ve done a #worldcoinwednesday post.
But the wait is over.....
Today inspired by what what I came across on Sunday from the current box of mystery from my private security place. I was quite surprised at this finding, because I didn’t believe I owned a coin from this country.
And this country is.....
You guessed it Brazil.
Where our good community friend Ronaldo Avelino currently resides. While my coin is not in the condition I wish to collect, it’s not by any means a poor example.
It’s a 1913 Brazil 2000 Reis silver coin. It’s got some quality toning, but is not a grade that I would put in my world coin personal collection.
So here it is for you....
Maybe Ron can upgrade my collection with some nicer examples of Brazilian coins.
Have a great day

Well at least this 2000 Ries is WAY better than the one I got. I'd be embarrassed to show mine.
But you got one.
The problem with uncirculated Brazilian coins is that they are very expensive. You can buy coins like this one with a small premium over spot, but the premium on uncirculated (or "flor-de-cunho" coins) is huge...

It’s the same everywhere Ron. Nice coins fetch a premium.
That is a great looking 1913. 2000 Reis... is the reis the same as reales?
Thanks. No it’s not different currency.
WOW< does it mean that in today's money that would be $340US?
Very nice! I like the overall look on both obverse and reverse! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. I was surprised to find it in the box
Looks very nice @silverd510 thanks for sharing my friend!😀
Thanks. Anytime
