Brazil (Colonial), Portugal. D. João Príncipe Regente (1799-1816). 960 Reis 1816 - NGC UNC (Bahía)

The 960 Reis coin from Brazil dated 1816 reflects an important era in colonial Portuguese coinage. Struck during the regency of D. João, the Prince Regent before he became King John VI, these coins were used in Brazil when it was still a Portuguese colony. The 960 Reis denomination was especially notable because it was often produced by overstamping Spanish-American silver dollars, adapting the widespread currency to local needs. Coins graded NGC UNC (uncirculated) indicate exceptional preservation and appeal to collectors interested in numismatic history of colonial Latin America. The Bahia mint mark points to one of Brazil's key colonial centers, illustrating the economic and political ties Portugal maintained with its vast overseas possessions through coinage.
