João V gold 20000 Reis (Dobrão) 1726-M AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM117, LMB-250. A somewhat circulated survivor bearing an antique-gold tone and honest-wear surfaces. 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. HID09801242017 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
