| Reverse description | Draped bust of Liberty facing right, rendered in fine relief with elaborately detailed wavy hair crowned by a star diadem. A wreath of laurel or oak leaves adorns the truncation at the base of the neck. Twenty-three five-pointed stars are arranged in an arc around the bust, filling the field between the effigy and the beaded inner border, evoking the states of the Brazilian Republic. |

| Additional information |
Brazil's monetary reorganization in the early twentieth century generated numerous pattern coinages that never reached circulation, most killed by cost concerns or political inertia before production authorization. This nickel trial for the 100 Réis belongs to a period when the Casa da Moeda was actively testing alternative metals amid the financial pressures of World War I, which had disrupted the supply chains for the copper-nickel alloys then used in everyday coinage.
KM#Pn217 is documented but population data is essentially nonexistent — patterns from this series rarely surface outside major Brazilian auction houses.
