Description
Republic Silver 2000 Reis 1896, KM498, MS62 NGC. Light brown and gray toning with impeccable details and near-perfect strike. The so-called "Republic Heads" were struck by the newly formed Brazilian Republic to pay leftover debt (by the Empire) to the British. Most of these coins were subsequently melted by the Great Britain so the large mintages are quite deceptive. Most of the remainder coins today are dated 1897. 1896 is by far the rarest date of the three and especially rare in mint state condition.More information about Brazilian Coins.
