João Prince Regent 960 Reis 1810-M AU53 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM307.2, LMB-438. An attractive specimen marred only by scant traces of handling and bathed in cornflower-blue and apricot patination, with light reflectivity and scant mint brilliance to the recesses of the devices. Boldly struck over a Charles III "Pillar" 8 Reales, highlighting notable features of the host coin and exhibiting a prominent "M," a feature generally found nearly unreadable on this issue. Tied for the second finest at NGC with one other, bested only by a single AU55.
