Another good day !! Unbelievable !!! 1828 Brazilian coin

[pkb]

Nice silver turtle ring. Legs and head move. Dropped it off at jeweler to have cleaned and straightened. But check this out . Thought it was just a foreign coin, but after taking it home and cleaning it , it turned out to be a 1828 Brazilian 80 reis coin. No Way ! From a school yard built in the 70's ?? Must have been show and tell day. By far the oldest coin for me

Gotta ask. Did you find this in the Dallas Texas region? Super find!

 

[pkb]

Yes, Dallas Texas, are you in McKinney ?

BTW, if the mint mark is other than "R", here is that info:
Bahia 1824-31, Sao Paulo (SP) 1825-29, Cuiaba 1826-30, Goias 1828-31 and Rio 1823-31.
Caution: Counterfeits are numerous, particularly of the Bahia issues, which were cruder than Rio issues.

What a fantastic coin, I love the big old silvers, they make such a nice sound when the clink together.
You coin is very similar to the Brazilian coin Aquachigger found in his cashe. Check out his vid.
