João V gold 12800 Reis 1727-B AU55 NGC, Bahia mint, KM141, LMB-85. A thoroughly satisfying large gold denomination, difficult to obtain in any grade. This appealing Almost Uncirculated specimen clearly has seen very little circulation, retaining considerable luster atop a firm strike; the reverse exhibits evidence of a deep red tone beginning to form, only contributing to the eye appeal. A minor adjustment mark is noted across João's forehead. Overall, premium for the grade.
