BRAZIL. 6400 Reis (Peca), 1794-R. Rio de Janeiro Mint. Maria I. PCGS AU-58.
Fr-87; KM-226.1; Gomes-33.10. A sharply detailed and quite appealing gold piece. Russet-colored spotting and small hints of rainbow tone suggest the coin may have once been buried or submerged. Ghostly outlines of the obverse legends are visible on the reverse, indicating clashed dies. Despite these idiosyncrasies, the coin exhibits hardly any evidence of wear and deserves its near-Mint grade.
Estimate: $800 - $1200
