BRAZIL. 960 Reis, 1819-R. Rio de Janeiro Mint. Joao VI. NGC MS-66.
KM-326.1; Gomes-JC.25.06. Tied for finest certified of the date with one other example on the NGC population report, none finer. Struck over an 1815-LIMEA JP Peru bust 8 Reales of Ferdinand VII. Minor evidence of the original host date at 9 on the obverse where the last two digits of the date can be made out with the aid of a loupe as well as slight evidence of the assayers letters solidifying attribution of the host. A highly attractive superb Gem with lovely smooth satiny surfaces and frosty devices where nearly all of the design elements of the host have been obliterated save for a few key factors such as a partial date and slight ghosting of the assayers letters. A thin veneer of tone adds to its originality and desirability sure to see spirited bidding from many collectors of the type.
Estimate: $700.00- $1000.00
