British West Indies
Brazil gold 6400 Reis 1771-R West Indies Imitation, 11.39g, Choice AU. This example of a lightweight Brazilian imitation struck for circulation in the West Indies is rarely seen this nice, with bright gold surfaces and nearly-full luster. The devices are boldly struck and just a tad too close to the rims, likely as the model for the dies had probably been clipped. The official Brazilian issues of this type weigh in at a nominal 14.34g.
Estimate: 2500-3500 USD
