From this we can see that the only thing the ambitious Sydneysider required was an access to capital, either in coin or on account.
The Portuguese Johanna, as a solid and unquestioned form of international currency, easily qualified as a rare and highly desirable form of colonial capital.
This particular example has solid detail right across both sides - it does have a modest amount of friction on the high points, but all design elements remain clear.
Many of the large Brazilian gold coins from this era that remain inexpensive today have problems, such as a deep scratch or a rim bump.
This coin remains problem-free, and is perfect for the proclamation collector looking for a solid example that won't break the bank.
