João V gold 20000 Reis 1726-M MS65 NGC, Vila Rica mint, KM117, Russo-250. Gem Mint State with full and vibrant luster over remarkably clean surfaces showing only very mild surface abrasions and sharply rendered details throughout. Some very minor adjustment marks on reverse, including a thin and long one across the cross on the reverse are mentioned for accuracy yet are inconsequential to the eye-appeal of this piece. A remarkable example, the finest seen by the cataloguer and one that currently sits atop - together with only three other coins - as the finest four certified by NGC for this type. In all probability an unsurpassable representative of this iconic and massive gold issue, extremely rare in this superb condition and destined to become a highlight in the next owner's cabinet.
Estimate: 20000-30000 USD
