Pedro II gold 10000 Reis 1842 MS62 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM457, LMB-623. With only one example certified finer than this by either NGC or PCGS, this selection approaches the pinnacle of technical quality for issue and represents a considerable conditional rarity thus. Often referred to as the "Admiral" series, this selection features the impeccably-styled bust of Pedro II in his naval uniform. This portrait has been superbly rendered here giving significant depth of detail, the fields behind semi-prooflike, a ring of rich amber toning at the peripheries. A particularly rare date within an already elusive issue, an excellent opportunity for the advanced collector.
From the Santa Cruz Collection
