PORTUGAL. 1000 Reis, 1845. Lisbon Mint. Maria II. NGC MS-60. Dav-265; KM-472. This very difficult to locate crown-sized issue is <strong>VERY </strong><strong>RARE </strong>in high grade, with NGC only certifying one example as better than this piece. The present example offers strong detailing and entrancing steely-gray surfaces that displays occasional golden, purple, and green highlights. Scattered marks in the reflective fields determine the grade, but no instance is an overwhelming deterrent to the eye.
