Brazil (struck in Lisbon), 4000 reis, Jose I, 1753, IOSEPHUS and DOMINVS, encapsulated NGC AU 58. Russo-295; KM-171.1. Nice red toning, lustrous and totally unmarked fields that indicate a higher grade, yet graded lower due to almost imperceptible smoothing of high points (should be MS in our opinion). Pedigreed to our Auction #14, with original lot-tag #108.
Estimate: $1000
