PORTUGAL. 1/2 Escudo, 1744. Lisbon Mint. Joao V. NGC MS-60.
Fr-92; KM-218. A rather SCARCE and seldom encountered fractional gold denomination, with the elite level of preservation of the present specimen augmenting its appeal that much further. Indeed, NGC has certified just one finer, an MS-63, with this example being the only other observed there in the uncirculated tier. A great opportunity for a difficult coin.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
