João Prince Regent gold 6400 Reis 1816-R MS63 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM236.1, LMB-0566, Russo-565, Gomes-33.23. Mintage: 39,000. A stellar representative of this scarce type, shown here with stunning peach-hued coloration over the satin-textured surfaces. The fields remain relatively clear, aside from a few scattered handling marks and light die cracks, while the central designs have benefitted from a commanding strike, producing a superior level of sharpness across both sides. A rather difficult issue when encountered at the choice Mint state level, and given the decline in mintage figures after 1809, this penultimate year in the series absolutely engages with every turn.
