Historical Context: Minted during the reign of Pedro II, Brazil’s last emperor, who ruled from 1831 to 1889 The 20,000 Réis gold coin was among the largest regular-issue gold denominations struck in the 19th-century Brazilian monetary system Coins like this reflected both the empire’s economic strength and its ambitions to modernize and stabilize its currency

Collector Note: The 20,000 Réis is significantly more scarce and valuable than its 10,000 Réis counterpart due to its larger size and lower mintage figures These coins are sought after not only by Brazilian numismatists, but also world gold collectors and investors interested in historical bullion Market value increases substantially with original luster, minimal wear, and strong strike detail
