1927 Brasil 1000 Réis KM# 525
<div class="text-justify">This beautiful coin was minted from 1924–1931, during the time of Brasil's "First Republic" which lasted from 1889 to 1942. The coin was struck on a planchette of aluminium-bronze alloy.<p>
  </p>

Around the obverse (front) of the coin is twenty-one stars, each representing one of the Brazilian Federative Units which existed at the time: 20 states, plus one Federal District. Additional Federative Units were added in subsequent years, numbering 27 at the time of this writing.<p>
  </p>

  </p>

<div class="pull-right">https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/thekittygirl/462wSiAa-1000-Reis-Cornucopia-500.jpg<br><center><sup>IMAGE SOURCE: <a href="https://en.ucoin.net/coin/brazil-1000-reis-1927/?cid=54340" target=Top>Ucoin.net</a></sup></center></div>As with many other coins in my collection, I was drawn to this one because of the feminine imagery. Pictured is Fortuna, a figure that represents the personification of abundance, with a cornucopia (also known as a "horn of plenty"). Fortuna is rendered beautifully on this coin, in my opinion.<p>
  </p>

To her right are several stars that represent the constellation of the Southern Cross, easily visible from Brasil and a guidepost in the heavens to all those who reside in the Southern Hemisphere.<p>
  </p>

The reverse (back) of the coin is stamped with the denomination 1000 réis. The réis was the primary unit of currency at the time, and was subdivided into 100 centavos. The wreath that encircles the denomination is composed of the branches of two different plants: coffee on the left, and cotton on the right. The name of the country is prominent above, and the date of minting appears below.<p>
  </p>

  </p>

Determining whether this coin has any 'face value' at the current time is difficult because the réis was once abandoned for a new unity of currency, the cruzeiro, which was then abandoned in favor of a new cruzeiro, then a third cruzeiro, then the current currency called the <em>real</em> &nbsp;(pronounced: ray - al). Each change of currency was made at a different exchange rate, and values of old coins become vague for amateurs such as myself.<p>
  </p>

The 'melt value' of the coin would be rather negligible, as this coin only weighs 8 grams. Prices of aluminum and bronze are such that the 'melt value' of this item might be in the USD $0.25 to $030 range. The 'collector value' of this coin would be in the range of USD $0,50 to $2.11, depending on grade (which I do not know for this coin).<p>
  </p>

However, I still love this pretty representation of Fortuna and this charming coin!</div><p>

Brazil has gone through a few currencies and may eventually another. Most S American countries use the same theme of 'Abundance' in their coat of arms and coinage, Either Fortuna or the Cornucopia in one form or another. I met a pastor planning a return trip to Brazil and learned that he took a roll of Silver Maple leafs with him to Brazil, he says things aren't going too well economically there as he was concerned with his Brazilian church ministry. Thanks for showing this 1000 Reis coin.

As a coin collector, I blew it!

As soon as I got custody of my late father's collection, I sold it.

Looked at its value now and I get depressed!

Namaste, JaiChai

The Réis is one of the most oldest coins that we had in Brazil. It started to be used even in Colonial Period  and extends almost at 1942. Thanks for sharing!

Definitely a charming coin! Hubby got me interested in coin collecting years ago when we first met, but our collection is very small. Love the idea of featuring the coins you've acquired and giving some background - I may have to dig ours out and do the same! Thanks for the inspiration, @thekittygirl!

Not sure how I missed the post.  It is, as always, extremely well written and the photos are amazing.  I do love how you always know the tiny details about these coins.   It just blows my mind at how much you know.  

Thanks for a very nice post!
