João V gold 20000 Reis 1727-M MS62 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM117, Russo-251. The final date from this challenging, four-year series, shown with stunning, rose coloration that resides beneath the tone. The massive surfaces remain beautifully preserved, with touches of graphite patina in the reverse fields, strong definition throughout the raised motifs, and only insignificant handling marks to account for the grade. Rarely offered at the Mint State level, and sure to garner increased attention from bidders of this fleeting issue. From the Grand Castello Collection
