João V gold 4 Escudos (Peça) 1744-L MS64 NGC, Lisbon mint, KM221, Gomes-127.23. Absolutely spectacular from start to finish, this near-Gem example displays fully-raised elements--noticeable from the legends inward towards the intricately-styled design motifs--and luster that emanates from beneath ambered surfaces that are completely fresh and sheathed in a satin finish. A date that is rarely encountered from an issue that is equally as scarce, this present selection excites at every turn and as such commands a premium bid.
