Host: Portugal João IV 400 Reis (Cruzado) from the Lisbon mint. Counterstamp: Crowned S00 counterstamp (XF Strong). Fairly attractive for the issue, even given the noted saltwater damage, with a notably clear counterstamp, and a wholly appreciable host coin.

View Coin P-64 BRAZIL COLONIAL/IMPERIAL 125R (1663) GOMES-10.04 NGC VF Details Alfonso VI Counterstamped 125 Reis ND (1663) VF Details (Saltwater Damage) NGC, KM30, LMB-64, Gomes-10.04. Type IV crowned "125" countermark (UNC Strong), struck on an earlier Portugal Tostao from the Porto mint. An evasive issue and the rarest of the type IV counterstamps, seen only a handful of times crossing the auction block in the last two decades, last seen at Heritage in April of 2010 when one was offered in the Paulistana Collection. Battleship-gray appearances and a generally pleasing aesthetic define this example, saltwater damaged surfaces notwithstanding.

View Coin P-113 BRAZIL COLONIAL/IMPERIAL 20R (1695-1698) BAHIA - PEDRO II NGC AU 53 Pedro II 20 Reis ND (1695-1698)-(B) AU53 NGC, Bahia mint, KM74, LMB-113, Bentes-94.01. Exhibits heavily patinated surfaces typical of these minors, enveloping the entirety of this specimen which has seen almost no actual use in circulation. An extremely rare type and infrequently seen by Brazilian collectors. The last instance we handled any of these 20 Reis pieces was from the Paulistana Collection in 2010/11, where Heritage offered two examples; the current sale includes five, with representatives from each mint. For the advanced collector interested in starting and completing a set of this highly elusive emission, this becomes an opportunity not to be missed. From the Vila Rica Collection
View Coin P-114 BRAZIL COLONIAL/IMPERIAL 40R (1695-1698) BAHIA - PEDRO II NGC VF Details Pedro II 40 Reis ND (1695-1699)-(B) AU53 NGC, Bahia mint, KM76, LMB-114, Bentes-90.03. "REX. E.B.D" variety. A rare instance of a straight-graded early minor originating from the Bahia mint, found just shy of Mint State levels of preservation. A uniform pewter patina envelopes this pleasing specimen, featuring only trivial traces of handling. (Source: Heritage Auctions catalog)
View Coin P-117 BRAZIL COLONIAL/IMPERIAL S80R 1697(B) NGC AU Details Pedro II 80 Reis 1697-(B) AU Details (Obverse Damage) NGC, Bahia mint, KM78, LMB-117, Bentes-86.04. A survivor to say the least, displaying an even charcoal patina and essentially unimpacted by exchange. The current example is the first and only of this date to be seen by NGC or PCGS, in a condition unexpected from such an early colonial minor; the Standard Catalog of World Coins only lists this series up to XF40. From the Vila Rica Collection
View Coin P-118 BRAZIL COLONIAL/IMPERIAL 160R 1695(B) SMALL CROWN NGC XF 40 160 Reis 1695-(B) - XF40, Bahia mint, KM80. Narrow Crown variety

A formidable offering from the early milled coinage of Brazil and the only certified by NGC, this piece displays even argent surfaces and astonishing detail. Despite the environmental damage designation and scattered porosity, this is surely the finest we've offered. The last time this issue was brought to auction was an uncertified example in the F/VF range from the Paulistana Collection, sold in April of 2010. An opportunity that is unlikely to reoccur in the next few years. From the Vila Rica Collection

An appreciable mid-grade offering from the early years of the Bahia mint and the largest silver denomination minted at that time. (source: Heritage Auctions catalog)

With only the smallest degree of handling evident throughout the lightly porous surfaces typical of the issue, this formidable survivor rarely finds its way to auction, with most 20 reis of the same era originating from the Bahia mint. From the Vila Rica Collection

A superb pewter-gray offering just shy of Mint State preservation displaying a bold overdate and a gentle pearlescence towards the peripheries. (source: Heritage Auctions catalog)
View Coin P-138 BRAZIL COLONIAL/IMPERIAL S20R (1695-1698) PERNAMBUCO - PEDRO II NGC XF 40 Pedro II 20 Reis ND (1700-1702)-(P) XF40 NGC, Pernambuco mint, KM85.2, LMB-138, Bentes-96.05. A highly elusive denomination, noted in Livro Das Moedas Do Brasil to have been produced between 1700 and 1702. This is only the second example of this rare issue that we have sold, the last occurring in our January 2011 #3012 Signature Auction (Lot 23149) and selling for a total of $4,600, including Buyer's Premium. From the Vila Rica Collection
