This specimen was lot 12458 in Ponterio sale 177 (Chicago, August 2013), where it sold for $822. The catalog description[1] noted, "PORTUGAL. 2 Escudo, 1741. NGC VF-35. João V (1706-50)."

Like similar issues from Brazil (Fr-47), it is much rarer than the larger 6400 réis.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: 7.17 g, 0.917 fine gold.

Catalog reference: Fr-88; KM-220; Gomes-121.14.
