COSTA RICA. 8 Reales, 1831-CR E. NGC AU-53.
KM-22. Very scarce one year only type coin. VERY RARE single letter "E" assayer letter. Well struck obverse with full sun face and bold rays over mountains. Reverse well struck for type, showing only slight weakness in the tree and denomination. Beautiful old envelope tone displaying a plethora of hues when tilted in the light. Though not the finest graded certainly better than most encountered on the market today. Distinctly superior to the example we sold in our January 2015 NYINC auction lot # 467 that hammered down at $7,500. NGC AU-53.
From the Alex Siegel Collection.
