    1832-R (RIO) BRAZIL 6400 REIS PEDRO II GOLD   #76G
    Brazil. 6400 Reis, 1832-R (Rio). Fr-115; KM-387.1. Pedro II. Bust right. Reverse: Imperial arms and value. Lustrous. Scarce.   Pedro was the last Brazilian Emperor, and the first Brazilian ruler to be native born. Exceptionally intelligent and forward thinking, he ascended the throne at age five. The first years of his rule were administered by a regency, but at age fourteen, being so advanced, the Brazilian General Assembly abolished the regency, and declared Pedro fit to govern. Pedro reigned as Emperor for 49 years. He established paved roads, installed telephones and telegraphy cable, and attempted to have steam locomotives placed throught the vast country. It can easily be argued that Pedro was the most able ruler in South America in the 19th century.
