| Additional information |
Brazil's 1849 monetary reform consolidated a chaotic mix of colonial-era silver denominations into a rationalized system, and this 1000 réis issue was among the first produced under the new standards. The reform was driven in part by persistent counterfeiting of older milled coinage and the government's determination to replace worn provincial issues that had circulated since the João VI period. Production ran across only four years before further monetary adjustments shifted priorities toward paper currency and copper.
KM#459 is known with mintmarks from Rio de Janeiro, and survivors in problem-free condition are less common than the short date range might suggest — the denomination saw heavy commercial use in a growing urban economy.
