Maria I "Plain Headdress" gold 6400 Reis 1790-B AU58 NGC, Bahia mint, KM218.2, Fr-86, LMB-O507. With just a hint of light wear upon the highest points, this exceptionally pleasing "Veu de Vuva" (widow's veil) 6400 Reis represents a brief series issued at both Rio and Bahia, and one which consistently resonates with collectors. Within the type's short run, the 1790-B is by far the rarest and encountered only sparingly. Being just the second and finer of the two which we have offered, this wondrous piece is at the top of the population for NGC and is sure to generate a great deal of enthusiasm.
