BRAZIL. 960 Reis, 1819-R. Rio de Janeiro Mint. Joao VI. PCGS MS-64 Gold Shield.
KM-326.1; LDMB-P477; Gomes-J6.25.06. SCARCE host coin; struck over a 1818 FD Chilean Volcano Peso. In addition to being struck on an elusive host, the overall quality is unusual as well, with frosty white centers and copper-gold, mauve an blue highlights along portions of the edges. Taking all into account, one could hardly envision a more desirable example of the type.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
