João V gold 1/2 Escudo (800 Reis) 1730 MS65 NGC, Lisbon mint, KM218.7, Fr-92. Absolutely stellar in terms of preservation and sheer eye appeal, with needle-sharp features set within glowing fields that possess a nearly three-dimensional lustrous depth conveying "gem" at every turn. Very scarce so fine, and an ideal type coin ranking as the finest certified for this date.
