João V gold 12800 Reis 1733-M MS61 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM139, LMB-288. The quality of this offering is miles beyond what one would expect from the certified grade; the surfaces are gorgeous, exhibiting light die rust which has produced an appealing texture positively aglow with scintillating luster. João's portrait is sharply rendered with almost no subsequent handling, the reverse slightly softer but nonetheless appealing in itself. A fully impressive representative of this type.
