Guatemala
Central American Republic gold 8 Escudos 1824 NG-M AU55 NGC, Nueva Guatemala mint, KM8, Onza-1751. Well preserved with reduced wear, partially lustrous fields with limited handling marks and well struck for the type with attractive old toning, the sunface particularly sharp and most pleasant. By far the rarest subtype of this very elusive and extremely popular issue and many times rarer than the 8 Escudos issued at the San Jose mint. Rare in any preservation, and very desirable in this technical designation, a coin that should deserve strong consideration from the specialist of this challenging series.
Estimate: 20000-25000 USD
