Brazil 40 reis Regular Coinage PROSPERIDADE KM-491 MS63 PCGS bronze coin 1893

The 1893 Brazil 40 Reis bronze coin from the Regular Coinage series embodies the spirit of the young Brazilian Republic and its national motto of prosperity. The obverse displays the radiant emblem of the Republic — a celestial circle filled with stars representing the states of Brazil, arranged around the Southern Cross constellation. This symbolic design is surrounded by the inscription “REPUBLICA DOS ESTADOS UNIDOS DO BRASIL” and the date “1893,” bordered by a fine beaded rim. The reverse features the bold denomination “40 RÉIS” within a dotted circle, encircled by the inspiring phrase “A ECONOMIA FAZ A PROSPERIDADE” (Economy brings prosperity) and a small star at the bottom. Struck in bronze and graded MS63 by PCGS, the coin retains a warm golden patina and sharp detail. It stands as a classic representation of Brazil’s early republican ideals and a treasured artifact of 19th-century monetary history.
