What's up plebs?!
Back with another coin from the stack. This one has been in my possession for a while now and it was a gift from @goldrooster !
Let's check it out
A 2000 Réis coin from Brazil, minted in 1907.
Now, this is a coin I love for two reasons.
First, it's a nice chunky boy. 20 g of 0.900 purity. Very fucking nice :)
And second, I just love the vintage font on the reverse!
The text on the obverse translates to
Republic of the United States of Brazil
1912
Depicted is Efígie da República (Portuguese for Effigy of the Republic) a national personification, both in Brazil and in Portugal. She also wears a Phrygian cap, a classical symbol of freedom, a symbol originating back to ancient Rome.
On the reverse, the text translates to
Order and Progress
2000
Réis
20 Grams
The edge is fat and reeded
All in all, a simple, chunky and manly coin. I can only imagine how nice it would feel to have a bunch of those in your pocket 😁
Easily one of my favorite standard circulation coins 💪
