The image of Dom Pedro II was altered, and we see a more mature picture of the emperor.
Only the 20 reis stamp has the same image as the previous series.
This set is called the 'white beard' set, as the emperor is depicted with a white beard.
There are 10 stamps in this set and altough they were printed without watermark, some stamps might have a vertical line as watermark, since they were printed by the American Bank Note Co.
One can find the stamps without perforation, but again beware of forgeries of perforations that might have been cut away!
10 reis
Scott : BR 0068 |
20 reis (I found 2 colour variations)

80 and 100 reis

The 200 and 500 reis can be found on letters, cut into 2, to reach the postal fees.
Same, but very rare is one third of a 300 reis on a letter, again to pay for the 100 reis rate.
Only on letters can be seen if it's a realy postally used item.
Pairs, strips of 3 and blocks of 4 reach higher prices.
