Pedro I copper Pattern 6400 Reis 1828-R MS63 Brown NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM-Pn31, LMB-E028. 38mm. Produced on a large copper flan that easily holds all the dies' details, with glossy brown sheen in the struck fields and blended tone around the edges that adds a touch of character. Sharper than essentially all examples struck for circulation, with Pedro's military bust in particular being exquisitely detailed. Close inspection determines that a different set of dies produced this piece, with small differences in the detail on both sides, and the placement of the leaf closest to the N in VINCES on the reverse being a clear indicator. Cataloged in Livro Das Moedas Do Brasil as "RRR" and including the example plated in that book, only the second example that we are aware of. As such, an item that is almost certainly destined for a Brazilian cabinet of exceptional refinement.
Estimate: 15000-20000 USD
