Brazil
Republic gold 20000 Reis 1897 AU58 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM497, Fr-124, LMB-O717. About as close as one can get to mint state, this example has seen only a hint of gentle handling along with some scattered unobtrusive marks. A good deal of luster remains, which further highlights this piece.
