João V gold 12800 Reis 1731-M AU Details (Surface Hairlines) NGC, Vila Rica mint, KM139, Russo-287. Well preserved with strong mint bloom, only slight rubbing on the higher points and mild wiping evidence mostly found on the obverse fields. A wholly respectable representative of this very scarce and massive gold issue, attractive and eminently desirable despite the slight shortcoming mentioned on the insert.
Estimate: 5000-7000 USD
