Central American Republic 8 Reales 1826 NG-M MS61 NGC, Nueva Guatemala mint, KM4, WR-11, Elizondo-86, Stickney-C92. A conditionally challenging date which we've only handled topping out at in AU grades, where a majority of certified examples remain capped. The piece at hand displays a clearly superior strike and visual aesthetic; all legends and raised devices fully impressed upon the metallic planchet beneath. With such a fine canvas revealing cobalt and autumnal hues that compliment the engraved vignette so perfectly, coupled with the fact that only a single example ranks more highly between both major censuses, we anticipate spirited bidding for this rare opportunity to own an example of this type so fine.
