Brazil (Tejuco, Minas Gerais), uniface gold certificate from the House of the General Administration of Diamonds, dated August 5, 1777, for "18 eighths and 3 fourths" (ounces?) of gold. Pick-A101. 7" x 5-7/8". Like the last lot but just the cut bottom portion (first paper money of colonial Brazil) and made out to a specific (female) individual, who basically gave diamonds to the House, paid one eighth to the crown, and received this note for the amount of gold value, the document being easier and safer to transport than the gold. Choice condition, no rips, tears, stains or folds.
