Jose I gold 800 Reis 1752-B XF (Extensive Repair), Bahia mint, KM180.1, LMB-338, Guimaraes-1752-1.1. 1.70gm. The first to hit the market in recent decades, this exceedingly scarce offering presents ample remaining detail across the peripheries, with signs of tooling that assign the grade. An 1752/1 overdate seems to be the case, a date not listed for this denomination but found in 6400 Reis from Bahia, indicating that 1751 800 Reis may have been issued. That being said, with no known examples, the present offering is an important study piece related to the possible 1751 issues. From the Petropolis Collection, Part II
