Joao V gold 6400 Reis 1749-R AU58 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM149, Russo-224. A desirable selection in this nearly-uncirculated designation, with handsome, darkened tone accented by instances of russet color. Aside from some weakness on the reverse motif which is often seen on this issue, as well as faint evidence of friction on the obverse portrait, this is a lustrous example with fewer than usual marks, making it choice for the grade and appealing in all regards.
