João V copper off-metal strike 24 Escudos 1731 MS64 Brown NGC, 61.23g, KM-PnA21, Gomes-E11.02. An extremely rare off-metal strike of this unadopted trial denomination, this magnificent trial piece fully captivates the viewer with its seas of iridescent-toned chocolate fields and boldly rendered devices. With clear ranks of adjustment marks lining the peripheries, this imposing design was proposed during a period when the large quantities of gold coming out of Brazil inspired a wave of minting and new, ever-larger denominations. A truly rare find!
