Pedro II 40 Reis ND (1695-1698)-(B) AU55 NGC, Bahia mint, KM76, LMB-114. An elusive minor denomination from the reign of Pedro II and certainly among the finest extant of the type with most examples showing heavy wear, significant damage or a combination thereof. The present coin therefore is a pleasing departure from the norm with a nicely centered strike that is essentially full and only traces of highpoint friction that mostly confines itself to portions of the raised rims. Deep charcoal-gray color throughout confirms absolute originality. An important coin for the Brazilian specialist and an opportunity that is likely to remain unduplicated in the near future.
