West Indies "joe" (imitation of a Rio, Brazil, 6400 reis, Maria I, 1788-R). 11.78 grams. Interesting late 18th-century issue, noticeably more crudely engraved than the genuine Rio coins and struck in lower gold content, known to be circulated extensively with similar specimens later regulated by American or Caribbean goldsmiths up to acceptable weight, this example from the same dies as PCGS #81719771 (Heritage, January 2017, lot 35619, sold for $2200 hammer), XF with light edge clip and some scratches near reverse rim.
($800-1200)
