João V gold 20000 Reis (Dobrão) 1725-M MS61 NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM117, LMB-249. Though not the finest we have offered, finding these types in Mint-State is no small feat, with the minting location also contributing to the desirability of this selection. This substantial example is, in fact, one of the largest gold coins to have ever circulated. Although this date is prone to rust, this Mint-State piece is exempt, exhibiting a rich, rust-free lemon planchet. All in all, a bewitching Brazilian piece that seamlessly combines numismatic rarity with exceptional artistry. Struck in the province of Vila Rica, where the Portuguese extracted most of the Brazilian gold, this short-lived issue departed from the duodecimal system that included the 12,800 Réis coin as its largest denomination. Believed to be one of, if not the largest gold type ever struck for circulation purposes, it's undoubtedly an imposing piece. HID07901242017 www.HA.com/TexasAuctioneerLicenseNotice
