| Additional information |
Pedro II was just five years old when this coin was struck — his father Pedro I had abdicated in April 1831 and sailed for Europe, leaving Brazil under a regency government that scrambled to maintain monetary order amid significant political instability. The copper réis denominations of this transitional period were produced under rushed circumstances, and the 1831–1832 issues bridged two reigns in everything but name.
KM#379 is known with considerable variation in planchet quality, a direct consequence of inconsistent copper supplies at the Casa da Moeda during the regency years.
