Uruguay
Republic "Montevideo Siege" Peso 1844 AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, Montevideo mint, KM5. Representing a scarce and coveted emergency coinage struck during the Uruguayan Civil War while Montevideo was besieged by General Manuel Oribo, this pleasing piece though lightly cleaned--likely to remove dark black staining on the reverse--expresses a champagne tinge to the silvery fields that is quite attractive. The strike itself proves exacting, making this a good opportunity to acquire an issue of great historical interest more affordably.
