Watch List notes:

PORTUGAL. 500 Reis (Cruzado), ND (1557-78). Lisbon Mint. Sebastian I. NGC AU-58.

Fr-41; Gomes-28.02. Weight: 3.80 gms. A RARELY encountered piece from the age of exploration, this example displays little evidence of handling and a better strike than most, though still somewhat weak. A truly wonderful piece for those interested in historically important pieces.

Estimate: $400 - $600
