Republic "Montevideo Siege" Peso 1844 AU58 NGC, KM5. A rare one-year siege issue numbering only 1,500 struck, even rarer still in higher grades. Struck at the reopened Casa de Moneda in Montevideo after the long civil war and city siege by General Oribo, this specimen has been somewhat weakly struck on the reverse but nonetheless retains satisfying detail, the planchet toned a handsome grey-gold over muted luster. Seldom seen in this quality and highly desirable thus.
