A Brazil 1813M 640 Reis graded NGC AU 53 (lot 99092) was struck during the reign of the Prince Regent John VI, who later became King of Portugal from 1816 to 1826 and King of Brazil from 1816 to 1822. Because his mother, Maria I (1734-1816), suffered from mental illness, John VI ruled in her place. This rare coin realized $6,600 — above its pre-auction estimate of $2,000 to $4,000.
