João VI Prince Regent gold 6400 Reis 1815-R MS62 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM236.1, Russo-565, Gomes-33.23. The 6400 Reis of Joao VI have ever decreasing mintages starting in 1809 making the last 3 dates of the issue, 1815, 1816, and 1817, the rarest. This exceptional piece is on the threshold of a choice designation, with only a delicate chatter observed in the fields, yet possessing a proper strike, and a golden luminescence that is quite impressive. Truly a scarce encounter and eminently desirable in this engaging quality. Ex. Santa Cruz Collection
