Rio de la Plata gold 8 Escudos 1828 RA-P AU55 NGC, La Rioja mint, KM21, Fr-2. An exceptional rarity, with this specimen the only known at either grading service. Possessing one of the more instantly recognizable motifs in Latin American coinage, this sun-face 8 Escudos is basked in luxuriant gold and displays only the slightest tinge of rub. The reverse presents more obvious handling and a slightly off-center strike. Specialists in Argentinian and Latin American series should watch this lot closely.
