João VI gold 6400 Reis 1820-R MS61 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM328, LMB-589. A far rarer date for this type, scarcely encountered at the Mint State level; even then, this piece is clearly premium for it grade, with an excellent portrait of João and very clear fields. The planchet exhibits fine, delicate luster with slight reflectivity, clearly a well-made piece, ever-so-lightly toned with hints of peach blushing through the otherwise honey-colored planchet. Immensely difficult to obtain as fine as this piece, and sure to elicit particular collector excitement.
