Jose I gold 800 Reis 1766-B Clipped NGC, Bahia mint, KM180.1, LMB-347, Guimaraes-1766-1.1. 1.43gm. A moderately circulated piece showing ample remaining detail to the well struck motifs; just the clipping of the edges, a common 1700's malpractice, plagues the issue. Only the second to hit the market in recent years, the other example showing the same grade qualifier.
Ex. SNB (Brazilian Numismatic Society) Auction (October 2008, Lot 1); Sotheby's (May 1996, Lot 452); Ex. Sotheby's Genève "Monnaies du Brésil" (November 1987, Lot 256) From the Petropolis Collection, Part II
