Portugal 1710 1000 reis
This specimen was lot 3287 in Künker sale 264 (Osnabrück, June 2015), where it sold for €220 (about US$284 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"KÖNIGREICH Johann V. 1706-1750. 1.200 Reis (Nennwert: 1.000 Reis = Quartinho) 1710, Lissabon. GOLD. Winz. Kratzer, sehr schön. (kingdom of Portugal, quartinho of 1710, Lisbon mint. Scratched, very fine.)"
This quartinho was struck 1707-47 at Lisbon. With a forty year production run, one would suppose this coin to be common, and it is priced low in the SCWC, but it is in fact seldom seen.
Recorded mintage: unknown but scarce.
