VENEZUELA. Caracas. 4 Reales, 1819-BS. Ferdinand VII. NGC Fine Details--Holed.

KM-C-7.2; Stohr-12b. Variety with castle in the top left compartment. A VERY RARE two year issue that nearly always exhibits a piercing. Despite this shortcoming, a rather wholesome coin, with moderate gray colored fields that lighten atop the designs. Renowned Venezuelan researcher Tomas Stohr reported a mintage of 18,000 for the date, of which obviously very few have survived. The Spanish Royalists struck silver 1, 2, and 4 Reales in Caracas, from 1817-21.
