GUATEMALA. 2 Escudos, 1827-M. NGC MS-64.
Fr-28; KM-12. Second finest graded with only one finer (MS65). A truly outstanding example with die crack through the "N" of "CENTRO" which is easily identifiable for this date. Highly lustrous with rich medium gold tone throughout and orange highlights in the peripheries. Far and away nicer than normally encountered and hard to imagine a more attractive example. A real prize for the advanced collector of Central American Republic, Guatemala or World gold. NGC MS-64.
