Maria I gold 4000 Reis 1802-(B) MS62 NGC, Bahia mint, KM225.2, Russo-500, Gomes-27.02. Quite an anomalous emission from the Bahia mint where most pieces were produced with a relative crudeness, particularly observed in the 6400 Reis die quality. Combining that fact with amount of circulation this issue typically experienced the present specimen defies the odds and displays a premium eye appeal. Sharply struck, clean fields, and a lager hued brightness that persuades a lengthened admiration.
