Overview

A silver 2000 Réis coin from Brazil featuring the Liberty head facing left on the obverse and the denomination with the national motto on the reverse.

Displays the denomination '2.000 RÉIS' in the center, flanked by decorative elements and the national motto 'ORDEM E PROGRESSO' above, with 'XX GRAMMAS' and stars at the bottom.

Estimated value

$15-$30 in circulated condition, $50-$150+ in uncirculated condition

What drives this coin's value

Overall state of preservation, presence of original mint luster, absence of cleaning, and date rarity within the series.

Grade assessment

About Uncirculated (AU) with minor contact marks and light wear on the highest points.

Mintage & rarity

Common to scarce depending on the year; mintage numbers for 1906 are moderate.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check weight, dimensions, and use the ping test or a digital scale. Counterfeits of common date silver are less frequent but exist; look for cast bubbling or incorrect edge reeding.

Notable varieties & errors

Minor overdates and die variations are known across the series, though standard issues are most common.

Similar coins

Other denominations of the Brazilian Réis series from the early 20th century such as the 500 and 1000 Réis coins.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges using clean cotton gloves. Do not clean, polish, or dip the coin, as this ruins its original surface and significantly reduces its numismatic value. Store in a stable, low-humidity environment using inert plastic (PVC-free) flips or holders.
