Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1935 Brazilian 2000 Réis coin featuring the Duke of Caxias is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Brazil. The coin was issued during the Vargas Era, a period of authoritarian rule that lasted from 1930 to 1945. The coin's design, which features the image of the Duke of Caxias, a prominent military leader and politician, reflects the nationalist and patriotic sentiment that was prevalent during this time. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition was a deliberate choice made by the Brazilian government to promote the use of silver in circulating coinage, as the country was seeking to increase its exports of the metal.
