    Here's another of the 1932 "400th Anniversary of Colonization" sets (as shown above), but in a different mint package.

    I also have another wooden box unc set of the 1956 10, 20, 50 centavos and 1 & 2 cruzeiros coins bearing the impressed seal of "Casa da Moeda Brasil", but I'm having trouble getting it to show the mint seal impressed into the hardwood lid of the set.

    If I can get a half-decent scan, I'll upload it here.

    This is the best I seem to be able to do on the 1956 set. It's hard to see, but the "Casa da Moeda Brasil" seal impressed into the wood can be partly read. image

    So do I. The second one has nicer coins but the container is nowhere nearly as interesting.image

    I've never seen one in that case before.
