Description

João VI 75 Reis 1819-M AU55 Brown NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM320, LMB-556. Tastefully toned "gold 2 Vinténs". The "gold Vintém" was created due to a lack of a smaller denomination which could facilitate the exchange of gold dust, leading the Portuguese crown to come up with a solution: a coin worth 1/32 of the period gold ounce, therefore minimizing the tax evasion due to a lack of change during tax collection.
