Brazil (struck in Lisbon), Joao V, 1000 reis, 1749, encapsulated NGC AU 58, second finest known in NGC census. Russo-290; KM-161. One-year type struck at Lisbon for the State of Maranhao. First year of new standard, as earlier 1000 reis weighed 2.68 grams. Muted luster all over, with spots of reddish purple toning. The only higher-grade specimen is the Eliasberg coin, at MS 63, which shows a similar grade in appearance but with obvious adjustment marks and lacking the attractive red toning our coin has. Pedigreed to the New England Collection.
