Description
João V gold 20000 Reis (Dobrão) 1727-M MS63 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM117, LMB-251. Final year of issue. On the cusp of the certified population, this piece is Choice both in grade and eye-appeal. One can inspect razor-sharp peripheries, struck with fresh dies, upon velveteen shimmering surfaces.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.
