Maria I & Pedro III gold 1/2 Escudo 1778 MS62 NGC, Lisbon mint, KM269. The sole certified example of this very rare denomination for 1778. Almost Choice Mint State, this example exhibits muted luster beneath creamy gold surfaces, slightly softly struck on the portraits as is common for this issue but otherwise sharp and well-made. A delightful rarity of the Portuguese numismatic series.
