This specimen was lot 22460 in Heritage sale 3021 (New York, January 2013), where it sold for $3,407.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "Pedro II gold 4000 Reis 1706, MS64 NGC, incredibly choice for this early issue. Strong strike and near flawless surfaces." This type was struck 1683-1706 and has a fairly low value in the SCWC but is seldom seen. It is listed as quite a bit more common than the earlier type with Pedro II as prince regent (see KM 117). Similar coins were struck in Brazil but bear mintmarks instead of rosettes next to the Maltese cross.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 10.75 g, 0.917 fine gold, .317 troy oz AGW.
Catalog reference: KM 156, Fr-76, Gomes-99.22.
