WEST INDIES. 6,400 Reis (Joe), 1785. PCGS AU-55 Secure Holder.
12.57 gms. cf.Fr-107; cf.KM-284; cf.Gomes-27.13; Gordon-pg. 40-43. Genuine Portugal 6,400 Reis that is clipped and re-edged. For use in the West Indies, with a weight suggesting it was intended for the Leeward Islands. Co-joined portrait of Maria and Pertus, and much less frequently encountered as an imitative issue than the earlier Josephus (Joe) coins that were struck some fifteen years earlier. Per Gordon's West Indies Countermarked Gold Coins, the specimen offered is considered to be a light to medium clip, with nearly all the legend still intact. PCGS AU-55 Secure Holder.
Estimate: $750.00- $1250.00
