Brazil: , João V gold 12800 Reis (Dobra) 1731-R AU53 NGC,...
João V gold 12800 Reis (Dobra) 1731-R AU53 NGC, Rio de Janeiro mint, KM148 (Rare), Prober-295, LMB-226. Second (Italic) Shield type. An exceptional survivor of a type noted as Rare by the Standard Catalog of World Coins, and distinguished from the relatively more common 1731 Dobra "oval" shield type by its more angular reverse shield. The 1731 Dobra from the Rio mint with the so-called "Italic Shield" is extremely rare, with only a handful of pieces known to exist, though we've seen them with increasing frequency in the last five years in conjunction with the rise in the market. Impressively preserved when considering how many of these expansive golden emissions succumbed to cleaning or environmental issues, here notably lacking such treatment and certified approaching Mint State. Broadcasting its advanced aesthetics via apricot and mulberry tones, we anticipate elevated interest when crossing the auction block. HID10510052018 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
