At the beginning of the 18th century, autonomous coinage of money was maintained in the European colonies of America. In 1722, copper coins of the Rosa Americana series, with a face value of ½, 1 penny, 2 pence, are issued. The coins are minted by William Wood in the city of Wad. The design is the same and resembles English coins. On the obverse - a portrait of a girl with flowing hair, on the reverse - a symbol of a rose.
In South America - in Colombia, at this time a silver 2 real coin is being made. These are hand-minted coins: makukina. Form - oblong, uneven; weight - 6.7668 g
The rough form of the coin is explained by the version that coins are printed directly on the mines. It is believed that macucins allow you to set the exact amount of precious metals, which is mined in the mines. These coins were perceived as a semi-finished product of noble metal, which have no impurities. Many macucins were melted down or acted as a means of exchange for goods, by weight. The fact that not all coins were melted down, says that they are still found in treasures.
In South America, in Brazil, in 1722, under the rule of King João V, copper coins appeared, in denominations of 20 and 40 Reis.
