An Acclaimed Rarity of the Brazilian Series

Pedro II gold 2000 Reis 1703-R AU Details (Bent) NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM100, LMB-33, Guimaraes-1703-1.1. "RRRR" variety. One year type. A marvelous key in the Brazilian gold series and the first type to bear the Rio de Janeiro mint mark. Though graded as bent, the flan irregularity (seen to the right of the crown on the obverse and to the upper left quarter of the cross on the reverse) seems to be a characteristic of the issue itself, the example offered showing virtually original and detailed surfaces. One of two pieces auctioned in the last 20 years and missing from the Norweb and Eliasberg collections, the RLM piece grading XF Details, it's an offering that will likely pique the interest of advanced Brazilian type collectors.
