A great corollary to the Brazillian ingots offered in our December 2012 Auction. Lot of 2 slave tokens from the Morro Velho mine: 1) obv.: Morro / Velho / 1848; rev.: 80 / Reis. 40mm. 2) Obv.: MoVo / 3/4, rev.: star, 40mm. Good for 3/4 day pay as a slave tag.

Slavery existed in Brazil until 1888. Pedro II was the last emperor. Located in Nova Lima, Brazil, the mine has been in operation since 1834 and is over 9000 feet deep. Morro Velho means Old Mountain. HKA#63285
