BRAZIL. 4000 Reis, 1810-(R). Rio de Janeiro Mint. Joao as Prince Regent. NGC MS-64.

FR-95; KM-235.2. Exceptionally lustrous and sharply struck, this dazzling gold issue flashes and blazes with the sparkle of a diamond. Rich details abound that remain unmarred by any bag marking or scuffing. Unsurpassed by any other example certified by PCGS or NGC, this specimen is tied for the finest graded with one other example certified by NGC. Truly a wonderous near-Gem, this piece will certainly be highly desired by the many, and ever growing number, collectors of New World gold.
