BRAZIL. 10000 Reis, 1849. Rio de Janeiro Mint. Pedro II. PCGS AU-53.
Fr-120; KM-460. Mintage: 1,678. A challenging key that rarely trades on today's market. Light handling can be seen on the bright, rose gold surfaces, consistent with the Choice About Uncirculated grade. With attrition particularly high and so few struck to begin with, the numismatist who manages to win this specimen should consider himself very fortunate.
Estimate: $800 - $1200
