Jose I gold 1/2 Escudo 1751 MS63 NGC, Lisbon mint, KM244.1, Gomes-43.01. "IOSEPHUS". A scarcely-encountered issue featuring the bust of Joseph I with mild adjustment marks cutting through his portrait, and noticeably clear fields that are both fully lustrous and silky in nature. Notable as the first year from this short-lived series, most attractive in this Select Mint State quality.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
