Republic "Montevideo Siege" Peso 1844 MS62 NGC, Montevideo mint, KM5. With a mintage of just 1,500 specimens, this scarce Latin American crown is a popular and difficult type to encounter, especially in such a pleasing, near-choice state of preservation such as this. Pleasingly toned, with a strong hue of goldenrod near the peripheries and a minimum of light hairlines and contact marks.
