João V gold 20000 Reis (Dobrão) 1725-M MS62 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM117, LMB-249. Struck in the province of Vila Rica during the peak of the Brazilian gold rush, which provided far more gold to the Portuguese in a few decades than all the gold mined in the Spanish Americas across several centuries. This short-lived issue is believed to be one of, if not the largest gold coins ever struck for circulation purposes, making it undoubtedly an imposing piece. Occupied by sharp and deeply engraved motifs with a light antique-gold tone, this offering also displays a prestigious pedigree to complement it.
