Pedro II 800 Reis 1843 MS61 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM456, LMB-549, Bentes-578.04. The third rarest of the entire Cruzado series, boasting a total mintage of just 127 pieces, and the key for the 800 Reis emission; less than a dozen of these pieces are likely still in existence. Bathed in an allover gunmetal patina with traces of original argent surfaces peering out, marred only by light marks and scattered hairlines defining the grade. Of the three seen by NGC, this is the single finest, with an AU58 we offered in the Paulistana Collection and an AU53.
