Maria I gold 6400 Reis 1789-R MS64 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM226.1, LMB-527. Bejeweled headdress type. Visually and technically unrivaled for the type, the well struck-up designs bordered by sharp rims containing surfaces of an exceptionally lustrous character. Currently unchallenged at the near-gem level, with no examples across either PCGS or NGC certifying above MS64.
From the Santa Cruz Collection
