Pedro II ruled Brazil from 1831 until 1889, although a regency governed during his childhood. His long reign was marked by economic development, expanding infrastructure, cultural advancement, and the eventual abolition of slavery in 1888. The Brazilian monarchy was overthrown the following year, making gold coinage from his reign an important part of the country’s imperial history.
