João Prince Regent gold "Special Series" 4000 Reis 1816 MS65 NGC, Rio de Janiero mint, KM312, LMB-O578. One-year type. A stunning Gem example of this so-called "Special Series" issue, with the inclusion of REGENS on the reverse. Matching the Eliasberg coin in technical grade (both are tied for the finest certified at NGC) and perhaps even more eye-appealing, with sparkling luster and hints of fiery orange-gold patina over both sides that immediately attract the eye. As one of the finest known, a coin worthy of inclusion in an advanced Brazilian collection.
Estimate: 5000-7000 USD
