Republic gold Type II Counterstamped 4 Escudos ND (1841-1842) AU58 (C/S UNC Standard) NGC, San Jose mint, KM29. Radiant six-pointed star stamped upon a Central American Republic 4 Escudos dated 1837 CR-E. Extremely rare (just over a half dozen known examples, it is believed), this offering features a charming host, superbly preserved with typical annealing flaws having little effect on the ever-popular design features. The stamp itself is slightly weak to one side, although without circulation wear. A truly rare piece, particularly in this elite preservation.
