Description

João V gold 20000 Reis (Dobrão) 1725-M MS62 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM117, LMB-249. A date prone to rusted dies, this example appears to have been struck before this weathering as the surfaces retain smoothness and the strike whole. Minimally toned with cartwheeling shades, an ideal piece for a collector seeking a specimen from this large gold type.

Struck in the province of Vila Rica, where the Portuguese extracted most of the Brazilian gold, this short-lived issue departed from the duodecimal system that included 12,800 Réis coin as its largest denomination. Believed to be one of, if not the largest gold type ever struck for circulation purposes, it's undoubtedly an imposing piece.
