Description
Intriguing Uniface Obverse Die Trial
Pedro I copper Uniface Obverse Die Trial 80 Reis 1829-SP
UNC, São Paulo mint, KM-Unl., cf. LMB-739 (for standard type),
Bentes-485.03 (same). An intriguing survivor of the fleeting Sao
Paulo mint, perhaps unique, showcasing chocolate brown surfaces
with crisp devices. Though we haven't been able to find any
information in regards to this issue, we've matched the die to
three other examples of 1829-SP coins. The old flips that accompany
it may help in future research for the next owner, since they
describe how this type was struck in 1833 to be used as a
comparative piece as a means to to distinguish regal examples from
surfacing contemporary counterfeits. The second flip, a very old
parchment envelope, has the following note in Portuguese: "Moeda
que se refere o Officio de 2do comando que acompanhou a Portaria de
26 de M(aio / arço) de 1833". The note translates to "The coin
mentioned in a statement by the Command who enforced the ordinance
of M(arch or ay) of 1833."Metal: AE
