Lot 31054 > João V gold 12800 Reis (Dobra) 1727-M AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, Minas Gerais mint, KM139, LMB-285. From a short-lived series of just seven dates (1727-33), and the first year of issue for this hefty gold denomination based on the 8 Escudos. A not unattractive representation of this scarce type, a prior cleaning rendering the surfaces brighter than normal but without too much in the way of distracting contact marks or hairlines. A faint orangish tint pervading the fields and climbing onto the curls of the artistic obverse portrait hints at the beginnings of a retoning.
