PORTUGAL. 500 Reis, 1856. NGC MS-65.
Gomes-P5.07.02; KM-494. Tied with one other piece as finest certified at NGC and PCGS, with none finer (for the type). From the short reign of Pedro V. Nearly proof-like fields and satin devices produce a cameo effect when viewed in hand, with luster blasting off the surfaces in all directions. The degree of detail present in the hair and facial features is truly astounding, as is the reverse shield with intricacy so complete that 10x inspection is required to take it all in. A masterpiece of Portuguese numismatic art, and a coin sure to greatly enhance the collection it enters. NGC MS-65.
Estimate: $350.00- $500.00
