Pedro II gold 20000 Reis 1862 AU53 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM468, LMB-682. The undisputed key date of the Pedro II 20,000 series, with a catalog value nearly 20 times that of some of its higher mintage counterparts in LMB. The Standard Catalog of World Coins simply notes the date as "Rare" and gives no attempt to provide a book value. Lightly circulated and mostly pale yellow-gold, with patches of earthy tone scattered throughout. For the sake of completeness, we note a scratch upon the forehead of the portrait.
