Description

João V gold 6400 Reis 1734-M AU Details (Obverse Spot Removed) NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM135 (Rare), LMB-282. Struck with a sufficient precision to leave all central devices boldly outlined and sharply raised against the fields, the contours of João's portrait and the near-entirety of the peripheries sheathed in shimmering golden brilliance. Though hairlines are noted throughout the fields, the consequence of the spot removal is only minor to the aesthetic appeal of the piece, noted a"Rare" in the Standard Catalog of World Coins.
