Forgeries:
Forgeries of these stamps exist. There are 17 different kinds of forgeries known. Very old forgeries were made by Spiro in 1864, Zechmeyer made 3 different forgeries in 1890, followed by Erasmus Oneglia in 1897 and Giovani Patroni, also in 1897. In the 20th century forgeries were made by M.Mercier in 1910 (Mercier is the predecessor of the famous forger Fournier) and Jean de Sperati in 1914 (only the 60 r and 90 r). I'm not sure if the above date '1910' for Mercier is correct, since he went bankrupt in 1904 (source: Tyler, 'Philatelic Forgers, Their Lives and Works'). The other forgeries are of unkown makers (Source: http://www.firstissues.org/ficc/details/brazil_1.shtml). More information is also available at: http://www.philatoforge.co.uk/index.html.
In most forgeries the network of lines of the background is different from the genuine stamps. Examples:
