GUATEMALA. Silver Proclamation Medal (6 Reales), 1808. Nueva Guatemala Mint. Ferdinand VII. PCGS Genuine--Mount Removed, AU Details.
Fonrobert-Unlisted; cf. Medina-299 (in gold); Herrera-Unlisted; Grove-F61a. By P. G. Aguirre. Diameter: 37mm; Weight: 20.3 gms. The Royal and Pontifical University of San Carlos. Obverse: Garlanded and draped bust right, in military attire; all within ornate floral border; Reverse: Legend in four lines; radiant star above; draped bouquet of flowers below; all within ornate floral border. Sporting an enticing cabinet tone and presenting very little in the way of actual wear of handling, this EXTREMELY RARE issue undoubtedly stands as an impressive and highly desirable piece. The noted mount removal is of hardly any consequence given its seldom seen nature. Indeed, the example listed in Medina's collection was gold, with him citing the Vidal Quadras example as the representative in silver.
