Description

João V gold 20000 Reis (Dobrão) 1726-M UNC Details (Obverse Scratched) NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM117, LMB-250. A visually expansive issue that displays incredibly well due to its size and the high-relief appearance of the raised motifs. This particular piece has a deep-golden tone that encompasses the surfaces, providing even more depth.

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.
