BRAZIL. 4000 Reis, 1808-(R). Rio de Janeiro Mint. Joao as Prince Regent. NGC MS-63.
Fr-95; KM-235.2. A very sharply struck example, this choice offering presents a good deal of lustrous brilliance that verges upon a prooflike designation. Furthering its appeal that much more, the olive-yellow nature exhibits some tinges of amber around the obverse devices. Incorrectly labeled on the holder as emanating from Bahia Mint, though that would involve dots around the date rather than flowers, as is the case here for Rio.
Estimate: $900 - $1300
