URUGUAY. Peso, 1844. NGC MS-63.
KM-5; El-2. Coin axis alignment. Mintage of only 1,500 pieces. Nicely toned. Sharply struck on a defect-free flan without any adjustment marks showing through. This issue was produced over a two day period in February of 1844 and celebrated the reopening of the Casa de Moneda in Montevideo, after the siege of the city by General Manuel Oribo during the Uruguayan Civil War. The conflict lasted nearly a decade and included overt European meddling which helped transform it into an international war. Even Giuseppe Garibaldi who would later go on to unite Italy (1861) had a hand in the conflict. Of unsurpassed historical significance and in pristine condition, there are few other South American coins which posses such a compelling story to tell as the coin offered here. NGC MS-63.
From the Q. David Bowers Collection.
Estimate: $3000.00- $4000.00
