Commentary
Les monnaies de cuivre frappées entre 1823 et 1835 ont un poids variable selon les ateliers. Entre 1833 et 1835, ces monnaies font l’objet d’une réforme. Elles sont standardisées et contremarquées avec des valeurs faciales inférieures. Les monnaies de 20, 40 et 80 Reis frappées dans les ateliers de Rio de Janeiro et de Bahia recoivent respectivement une contremarque de 10, 20 et 40.

Historical background
BRAZIL - EMPIRE OF BRAZIL - PETER II
(1831-1889)
Peter II (1825-1891) is the eldest son of Peter I of Braganza and Leopoldine of Habsburg. His father abdicated in his favor in 1831. Pierre II married Thérèse de Bourbon in 1843. He had to face the wars against Argentina (1851-1852) and Paraguay (1865-1870). The abolition of slavery in 1888 sounded the death knell for the Brazilian monarchy. Peter II was overthrown in November 1889. He died two years later in exile.
