Joao V gold 12800 Reis 1729-R AU Details (Polished) NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM149, Russo-195. A wholesome example of this very scarce and impressive large gold issue, much more elusive than the similar issue issued by the Vila Rica (Minas) mint. Well detailed as expected from the designation, while the mishandling mentioned on the insert is not too offensive. Still very challenging and desirable in this preservation.From The Santa Catarina Collection of Brazilian Gold Coins
