João V gold 4000 Reis 1722-B MS64 NGC, Bahia mint, KM106, Russo-68. Choice Mint State with essentially full mint bloom and sharply rendered details. Surfaces are partially prooflike and remarkably free of handling evidence save for a single mark below the bottom left "B" on the reverse which likely prevented the Gem designation. A handsome and well-pedigreed example of this scarce issue, among the finest seen for the type and rare in this quality.
Estimate: 4000-5000 USD
