| Additional information |
Brazil's 1000 Réis coinage of this period was issued under the First Republic, a government that had abolished the monarchy in 1889 and spent the following decades managing chronic fiscal instability driven by the coffee valorization schemes and foreign debt obligations that defined the era's economic policy. The specific "dashes between stars" variety — distinguishing it from the adjacent type — reflects a minor but catalogued die modification, likely introduced during a routine production change at the Casa da Moeda do Rio de Janeiro.
The two-year window of 1912–1913 is narrow, and surviving examples in better grades are genuinely scarce.
