João Prince Regent 640 Reis 1812-M AU58 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM256.3, LMB-435. Struck over a Jose I 600 Reis from Bahia (cf. KM179 for type, date uncertain). By far the finest representative of this mint-date combination to have been brought to auction in recent memory, with examples edging on Mint State proving excessively challenging due to frequent cleaning and mishandling. This particular piece showcases a very sound strike, which has obliterated much of its undertype on the obverse, with a russet envelope tone encroaching from the rims.
