Description

João V gold 20000 Reis 1725-M MS61 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM117, LMB-249. Only a four-year type and the largest denomination minted in Brazil, the gold 20,000 Reis produced at Minas Gerais are notoriously challenging to locate in Mint State, as their large flans and natural weight make the issue prone to edge dings and contact marks. Indeed, out of the 90 examples presently seen across NGC and PCGS, less than 40% of the population ranks above AU condition. While admitting mild contact in line with its designation, this offering retains a great brightness to the surfaces, the features clear and defined, with hints of reddened-tone collecting around the devices.
