Joao V gold 20000 Reis 1724-M MS61 NGC, Vila Rica mint, KM117, Russo-248, Gomes-105.01. Strikingly similar in appearance to the 10000 reis of the same date in this sale, and likely a sister-coin to that piece, both almost surely sitting for ages together in a collector's cabinet, and as a result acquiring captivating reddish-orange tone of similar hue. The present piece, fully defined, not only showcases exacting detail from an impressive strike, but also is absent rub on the highpoints as the third-party grade suggests. Shimmering luster further propels this key date's appearance, with only a trifle of handling in the fields that is of no major visual consequence. An altogether premium coin, and for the buyer of the earlier 10000 reis, a coin that also merits strong consideration.
Estimate: 25000-30000 USD
