1869 Brazil 20 Reis ~ Frick Provenance {World Coin G}

Fascinating antique great gift for a young numismatist collector (or love token :- )

This coin was found in an old coin album…
Think of it ::: a coin is really a flat disc double sided sculpture and should be regarded as such. The artistry involved in creating such tiny wonders is awesome and the history is both humbling and fascinating.

We are selling off quite a few foreign coins. We know nothing about coins. We are not researching them. We are not grading them. Sold as pictured/as is. Good luck.

Provenance:
This is just one item out of a huge stash of clothing, accessories, coins and household items from the Henry Frick estate; the Railroad Magnate. The woman who acquired them originally worked as a ladies maid out on the Frick’s Long Island estate. We purchased them directly from her great granddaughter, a lifelong Danbury resident, who had been their careful and respectful guardian for many years/decades.

Now out into the world once again!

More from this haul to be auctioned over the next weeks/months! Keep an eye on our upcoming auctions which will include everything from Mr. Frick’s collapsible top hat - to his gold wire-rimmed childhood spectacles, and much much more!

Notes: Most of the items we sell are antique, vintage or used. You should expect signs of wear consistent with age. Please regard all pictures carefully and ask us any questions prior to bidding. Measurements, if provided in our descriptions, are close approximations.
