The first specimen was lot 22476 in Heritage sale 3021 (New York, January 2013), where it sold for $1,762.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "Pedro IV gold 1/2 Peca (3200 Reis) 1827, AU58 NGC, a choice example of this elusive type with subtle patina and considerable mint luster. Highly attractive and rare in this grade." The 3200 réis or half peça was never struck in large numbers and this is a rare one year type tho priced lower than its larger brother (KM 378). The peça was revalued from 6400 réis to 7500 réis in 1826 so this coin would have jumped to 3750 réis.
