João Prince Regent gold 4000 Reis 1813-(R) MS65 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM235.2, LMB-573. At the peak of certified quality for the issue, and tied for the finest graded by NGC with only two other examples. This example's high-end conditional status is immediately perceptible in hand, the result of a sharp strike and luxuriously satiny obverse surfaces, enhanced by the presence of warm tangerine patina. Further boasting a noteworthy pedigree, this true gem should encounter strong bidder interest.
Ex. Eliasberg Collection (American Numismatic Rarities April 2005, Lot 1247); John H. Clapp Estate to Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr., 1942
