João V gold 800 Reis 1734-R MS63 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM153, LMB-199. The finer of just two certified examples by NGC, with none in PCGS's database. The detail of its strike is exquisite, far beyond what one would expect for an MS63, with light reflectivity gracing the butter-yellow planchet; rarely encountered in any grade, let alone as choice Mint State. A significant Brazilian rarity.
