João V gold 20000 Reis 1725-M MS63 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM117, LMB-249. Highly unusual in choice grade, this charming piece boasts significant luster across the sharply impressed surfaces, the strike central and far crisper than one usually sees for the type. Very light hints of honey tone are forming at the peripheries, breaking into the uniform butter-gold centers and bolstering the eye appeal. An outlier for the type; of the 66 examples of this year graded by NGC, just three are more highly certified than this. Accordingly this piece represents nearly the ceiling of quality for issue.
