Jose I gold 1600 Reis (Escudo) 1768-B AU Details (Harshly Cleaned) NGC, Bahia mint, KM181.1, Russo-362, Gomes-48.12, Bentes 182.14. A well detailed coin, with limited actual wear and still quite presentable for this rare type despite the impairments noted on the insert. Bahia mint Escudos of 1600 Reis minted under Jose I are rare, with a significant number of the few encountered examples being damaged. Note that the ex-RLM example of the comparably elusive 3200 Reis 1766-B (Heritage Auctions 9/2013, lot 23795) hammered at $3,500 despite being significantly flawed (certified as XF Mount Removed cleaned by NGC). The present offering should attract comparably greater attention.From The Santa Catarina Collection of Brazilian Gold Coins
Estimate: 10000-15000 USD
