| Additional information |
Brazil's 2000 réis silver coinage of this period was struck at a moment when the imperial treasury was under severe strain from the Paraguayan War — the bloodiest conflict in South American history, which had already consumed years of national revenue by 1868. Funding the campaign against López forced compromises across government expenditure, making large silver issues of this weight politically awkward even as they remained commercially necessary.
KM#475 is known with subtle die variations across the two-year run, worth examining under magnification before cataloging.
