Brazil (Rio mint), 400 reis, Joao V, 1734-R, encapsulated NGC MS 62, finest known in NGC census, ex-Norweb. Russo-198; KM-152. Despite its diminutive size, this one-year Rio type is an iconic piece under Joao V in gold. With beautiful, bright luster all around, this coin exhibits choice inner details and nice rims for about 80% of its circumference, the remaining 20% plagued with a strange mint-flaw (lacuna) that is decidedly natural and not damage. Superb condition and desirable pedigree. Pedigreed to Norweb Collection (Christie's, March 1997, lot #686
