João V gold 3200 Reis 1749-R AU53 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM155, LMB-205. An altogether pleasing offering in this near-mint condition, the surfaces lightly toned to a rich harvest gold and showcasing touches of sunset copper tones within the legends. A firm impression of the dies yields a level of clarity in João's portrait that feels outsized for the grade, resulting in decisive visual appeal. An issue of known difficulty in this degree of preservation, and fully deserving of its NGC-assigned AU grade.
