Isabel II gold "De Villon" 80 Reales 1835 M-CR MS62+ NGC, Madrid mint, KM577.2. With only a single example ranking higher at NGC, and that by only half a a grade point, and none graded finer by PCGS, this beautiful representative of the type is poised to attract ample attention. The fields appear lemon-gold, lightly marked as is to be expected for the grade, and especially satiny towards the edges, with every letter of the legends razor-sharp. The reverse design seems even more exacting, with its myriad intricate details struck in expert style.
