João V gold 12800 Reis (Dobra) 1728/7-R MS61 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM140, LMB-194, Gomes-139.03. A notable rarity in the Brazilian series, hardly seen in uncirculated preservation, if at all. The strike is well-centered, with typical adjustment to both faces obscuring the design somewhat, though all features remaining discernible against their surrounding elements. Scattered friction accounts for the grade, satiny brilliance glowing in the protected regions, while a lack of wear confirms the distinguished Mint State grade.
