INDIA. Portuguese India. Goa. 1/2 Pardao (150 Reis), 1846/5. Maria II. PCGS MS-64 Gold Shield.
KM-271; Gomes-17.03. An INCREDIBLY RARE type in this near Gem state of preservation, with just one other piece tied with it in the PCGS census as the finest graded. Quite well struck for this usually crude type, with fine detail present in the hair and diadem of Maria. A gunmetal gray tone and alluring luster only augment its appeal.
Estimate: $2000.00- $2500.00
