João VI 960 Reis 1820-R MS62 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM326.1, LMB-478. Overstruck on British Honduras 6 Shilling 1 Penny ND (1810-1818) with cursive GR counterstamp. A rare host of the cursive GR counterstamp type, yet rarely encountered at level of preservation. This is the finest example we have offered to date, with only one MS63-graded specimen ranked higher on the NGC census. The piece at hand exhibits exuberant luster and a very attractive periwinkle and ice-gray patina. Sold with old pedigreed collector's tag. Ex.
