RE: Silver 500 Reis from Brazil/ Re-blog lottery for a chance to win 3 HSBI!

What I always enjoy about these coins is that even considering they are over a century old, there is still so much detail maintained on the back even though you can see that it had a fair share of use in its time.

Sort:  

This one you definitely can although it's had it's fair share of use and abuse. Some get used to the point you can barely see the design, but those just make me wonder about all the people who have held and used the coin over the last 100 years!

I find that so cool to think about. How many transactions that coin paid towards in a hundred years, enriched people somehow. How they earned it and where it travelled. If coins could tell stories, that would be so epic.
