 About KM #235.2 / Bentes 317: known as "Supposed for São Paulo" or "Parallels of Rio under John, Prince Regent". These coins are the result of an unofficial coinage that took place during John's government, at the Rio de Janeiro Mint. Over time, they have been a controversial matter, dividing experts between those who defend that they are counterfeit coins and those who defend their legitimacy, since they were minted with the same characteristics, weight and diameter as the authentic ones, and apparently carried out with the consent of high officials of the Rio de Janeiro Mint[/i].
