Jose I gold 6400 Reis 1751-B/R MS67 NGC, Bahia mint, KM172.1. Bahia (B) over Rio de Janeiro (R) mintmark. Essentially flawless, with stunning lemon-gold coloration and hints of graphite tone throughout. The raised illustrations are phenomenal--bold as can be--with a desirable level of frost that covers the high points. The recesses play a generous supporting role, filled with original mint luster that flashes across the untouched fields, confirming originality at every turn. An obvious type representative, and one that will likely remain unchallenged at the certified level for some time.
