João VI 960 Reis 1819-R MS65 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM326.1, LMB-477, Bentes-443.07. Conditionally difficult to acquire in Gem Mint State preservation or finer, with only three MS65's and two finer noted by NGC, despite certifying nearly 200 examples of this date/mint combination. Fully struck-up with only faint shadows of the more common Spanish colonial 8 Reales host while light originality flashes through the all-encompassing silty patina.
