Brazil 1869 1000 Reis coin with no denomination?

4 posts • viewed 72 times

Good day,

 

I’m brand new to this forum.  I am hoping for some information on a coin I got several years ago. 
 

It appears to be a 1869 Brazil 1000 Reis coin but has no denomination on it.

 

 I will attempt to attach some photos of it along side of one with the denomination. 
 

I appreciate any  insights you may have. 
 

Thank you

I guess it was sanded off. Maybe, with a magnifying glass, signs of removal can be seen.

Welcome to Numista. Yes I agree with Geison, I cropped your photos and altered the lighting and definitely see where 1000 REIS once was clearly on this example. Sanded, machined, or simply worn, but it was once there.

 

Thank you both. 
 

You’re certainly correct. 
 

I’m not sure why it was removed but it was. 
 

Thank you again.
