João V gold 12800 Reis (Dobra) 1727-B AU Details (Spot Removals) NGC, Bahia mint, KM138 (Rare), LMB-85, Guimaraes-1727-2a. First shield. Fleur-de-Lis over diagonal edge. First date of issue. A respectable survivor of the scarcest variety of the date, showcasing boldly rendered devices, very crisp and with an eye-appeal minimally affected by few adjustment marks that are characteristic of this die-variety. Despite the details grade due to a minor attempt of removing coppery spots from the crevices near the legends, this elusive Bahia mint piece has an impressive amount of mint bloom scintillating from the luminous surfaces.
Ex. Numisma Auction 76 (November 2008, Lot 9) From the Petropolis Collection, Part I
