Jose I gold 1000 Reis 1774-(L) AU55 NGC, KM162.2. Reduced size, "Josephus Dominus" type. Presently standing at the top of the NGC census, this tiny golden jewel leaves remarkably little wanting, its surfaces satiny with minimal signs of handling, an exacting strike, and no bend to the flan to speak of. Evidence of clashed dies can be seen in the margins of the reverse. From the Grand Castello Collection
