Pedro II 80 Reis 1833-R AU58 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM388, LMB-512, Bentes-505.01. 26 tulip variety. With a miniscule mintage of just 418 pieces and an all-encompassing slate patination that mutes lively autumnal tones peppered throughout the glossy surfaces of the exceedingly scarce 80 Reis, the final silver minor issue before Pedro's famed but short-lived Cruzado series. A type rarely encountered at all, let alone so fine, with only a single certified finer at either grading service.
