Historical Context: The 2022 Brazilian 2 Reais coin commemorates the Bicentenary of Brazil's Independence, a pivotal event occurring on September 7, 1822. This date marks the "Cry of Ipiranga" by Prince Dom Pedro I, declaring Brazil's separation from the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves. The coin thus honors Dom Pedro I, who became the first Emperor of Brazil, and the foundational act of national sovereignty. Its issuance in 2022 underscores the enduring significance of this historical milestone for the Brazilian nation.
Artistry: The coin's design, attributed to the Casa da Moeda do Brasil's artistic team, embodies a modern commemorative style. The obverse features a dignified bust of Dom Pedro I, rendered with classical precision, capturing his regal bearing. The reverse prominently displays the Brazilian national flag, dynamically unfurling, superimposed with the numeral "200" to signify the bicentenary. The composition masterfully balances historical reverence with contemporary aesthetic clarity, ensuring immediate recognition of its commemorative purpose.
Technical/Grading: Struck in copper-nickel (75% copper, 25% nickel), this 30mm, 10.17g coin exhibits the robust strike quality typical of modern Brazilian minting. Key high-points for grading include the highest relief areas of Dom Pedro I's hair and uniform details on the obverse, and the folds and stars on the national flag on the reverse. Collectors should expect a full, sharp strike with good cartwheel luster on uncirculated examples, though minor bag marks may be present due to mass production and handling.
