João V gold 12800 Reis (Dobra) 1730/29-R AU55 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM140, LMB-O196, Gomes-138.07. A scarce issue, particularly at the assigned level, with bold evidence of the overdate and handsome toning that leaves the recesses aglow in copper iridescence. A few heavier marks are noted, as is mild friction across the obverse; however, wear and strike-softness are most prevalent on the reverse. A solid contender of the type in all respects.
