Brazil
João V gold 20000 Reis 1724-M AU58 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM117, LMB-248. The inaugural year from this elusive issue, and the key date for the series, with bold renderings of the design components and ample flash residing in the fields. Only an inconsequential amount of friction exists across the highest points, and no individual marks of significance require mention. In total a near-Mint example that excites once in hand, and a wonderful representative of the type, worthy of even the most sophisticated cabinets of Brazilian gold.
