Pedro II gold 2000 Reis 1699/5-(R) MS62 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM97, Russo-39c. Toned Uncirculated with strong underlying luster and trivial surface contact marks preventing the Choice Designation. A scarce issue, this example being the only currently certified Mint State example of the type and very rare and desirable as such. The cataloguer notes that the example in the now legendary RLM collection was an ex-jewelry piece.
Estimate: 4000-5000 USD
