| Additional information |
Brazil's early imperial coinage was minted under contract arrangements that shifted between domestic and foreign production, and the 200 réis of this period was produced at the Rio de Janeiro mint during years when Pedro II was still a minor — he ascended the throne in 1841 at age fourteen following a parliamentary declaration of majority four years ahead of schedule, largely to end the instability of the regency period. The regency decade had seen five separate revolts, and stabilizing the currency was inseparable from stabilizing the state.
Dies from this series are known to show considerable variation in strike quality owing to the Rio mint's inconsistent equipment maintenance through the 1840s.
