Provisional bronze Proof Pattern 8 Pesos 1862 T-A PR63 Brown NGC, Tegucigalpa mint, KM27. Dots Flank Date variety. The circulating design, but designated as pattern by NGC due to its bold strike and highly unusual appearance for the issue. While this example doesn't exhibit the traditional mirror-like surfaces of a proof, electric luster adorns the fields, and highly alluring pink, blue and purple tone accents the surfaces. Presently one of only two examples assigned the "Proof" designation by NGC and given the overall appearance, quite possibly the finest surviving example of the design in terms of eye-appeal.
