João V gold 10000 Reis 1727-M MS62 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM116, LMB-O247. Although already impressive as a better date of a relatively brief four-year issue, this example is taken to loftier heights by its exceptional visual allure. Other examples of the type often take on a somewhat satiny appearance, but the present offering stands out in the manner in which it simply radiates charm and unique appeal, its surfaces much glassier than is usually seen, with an intense shimmering luster. A consistent amber tone embraces the legends and other struck devices, resulting in an appearance-enhancing color contrast that completes the piece's captivating feel.
