I recently featured two coins from Brasil: 1857 Brazil Silver 1000 Réis and the 1922 Brazil Silver 2000 Réis Independence Centennial. Today, I want to show you a coin minted in between those dates.

1906 Brazil Silver 2000 Réis

This coin is the first-year issue of the 2000 Réis with 90% silver. Since 1695 until 1900, 2000 Reis coins were minted with .917 fine silver or gold.

2000 Réis of this design was minted by the Casa da Moeda do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from 1906 to 1912.

The Latin words ORDEM E PROGRESSO and XX GRAMMAS which translates to English as "Order and Progress" and "20 Grams" surround the 2000 Réis face value of the coin.

What's notable about this coin is that for the first time, the symbolic effigy of Brazil is wearing a Phrygian cap. What is the significance of the Phrygian cap? This is what CoPilot says:

🧠 Symbolism
Liberty & Freedom: Most famously, the Phrygian cap became a symbol of freedom during the French Revolution, often called the "red cap of liberty." It was worn by revolutionaries and became associated with the allegorical figure Liberté, much like the Statue of Liberty’s crown in the U.S.
Republicanism: It replaced royal crowns in the emblems of several nations (e.g., Argentina, Cuba, Nicaragua, Brazil) to signify liberation from monarchy and the embrace of republican ideals.
Emancipation: Though often confused with the Roman pileus—a cap worn by freed slaves—the Phrygian cap took on similar connotations of emancipation and resistance to oppression.

These are just three coins from Brazil's past. They just don't reflect currency... they tells us the truth about a nation's journey.
