Jose I gold 3200 Reis (Meia Peça) 1768-B AU Details (Polished) NGC, Bahia mint, KM183.1, Russo-378, Gomes-51.12, Bentes 178.14. Rather handsome for the designation with lightly burnished surfaces yet still attractive with a broad flan and quite well detailed. An overall presentable representative of this very rare type, quite desirable as such. Despite being minted in more years (14 different dates are confirmed) than the similar –and also very elusive - issue minted at Rio (7 confirmed dates), the present coin represents a decidedly rarer type. This is confirmed by a review of the public offerings of the past two decades, where only a handful of offerings of the Bahia Jose I Meia Peças are noted. Another significant offering for the Brazilian Colonial series.From The Santa Catarina Collection of Brazilian Gold Coins
Estimate: 10000-15000 USD
