João V gold 12800 Reis (Dobra) 1730-M MS62 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM139, LMB-286, Guimaraes-1730-4a. Fleur-de-Lis over diagonal edge. A remarkably flashy piece, highly sharp and displaying semi-glossy, lustrous peripheries. Other than being at the peak of the certified population with such high-quality surfaces, it showcases an enchanting edge: dubbed by some as a "mixed edge", it shows the new fleur-de-lis pattern crudely re-milled to the diagonal one, resulting in "patches" of the original edge clearly visible. From the Petropolis Collection, Part I
