This specimen was lot 813 in Sincona sale 90 (Zürich, May 2024), where it sold for 1,500 CHF (about US$1,982 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"BRASILIEN, João V. 1706-1750. 4000 Reis 1715 R, Rio de Janeiro. Vorzüglich. (Brazil, John V, 1706-50, 4,000 réis of 1715, Rio mint. Extremely fine.)"
This type was struck in Rio 1707-27 and in Bahia 1714-27 (KM 106). Later issues (1749-1822) were only 8.07 g, likely explaining the scarcity of these early issues.
