João V gold 20000 Reis 1726-M AU Details (Surface Hairlines) NGC, Vila Rica mint, KM117, Russo-250. Lightly toned and well struck with scant actual high-point wear, strong underlying luster and moderate wispy handling marks mostly visible on the reverse fields. An above average example of this massive and iconic gold issue despite the mild defects noted on the insert and quite desirable as such.
