Jose I gold 3200 Reis 1772-R VF30 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM183.2, Fr-66, LMB-O417. Though exhibiting some minor striking weakness on the obverse, this wholly pleasing example features even wear and problem-free surfaces. An exceptionally rare issue with a paltry mintage of just 1,554 pieces, this piece is one of most attractive specimens offered in recent memory, in company with one which we presented in our 2015 NYINC sale (3037, lot 31033), which received an XF details grade due to two small punch marks on the obverse. For a state of preservation better than this, the collector can turn only to the Eliasberg and Norweb examples for improvement. As such, the present piece is worthy of tremendous attention and focus as it is a scarce opportunity for this difficult date.
