| Lot description: Brazil João V gold 20000 Reis (Dobrão) 1724-M AU Details (Harshly Cleaned) PCGS, Minas Gerais mint, KM117, LMB-248. The present offering displays deeply-engraved peripheries with minimal highpoint wear and a detailed shield, superior to the commonly seen soft-strike specimens. An opportunity to acquire the key of this popular large series. 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 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. https://coins.ha.com/itm/brazil/brazil-joao-v-gold-20000-reis-dobrao-1724-m-au-details-harshly-cleaned-pcgs-/a/61381-21129.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-61381-05192024 HID02906262019 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved |  |
