Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20,000 Réis 1889-1922 coin from Brazil is that it was the first gold coin to be issued by the country. It was introduced in 1889 as a replacement for the previous silver currency, and it quickly became a popular choice for international trade due to its high gold content and durability. Despite its value, the coin was widely used in circulation and was a symbol of Brazil's economic growth and prosperity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
