Venezuela
Republic 1/2 Bolivar (50 Centimos) 1886-(c) XF40 NGC, Caracas mint, KM-Y21. Variety with a "high" second 8 in the date. An absolutely brilliant representative of the type, toned to a deep gunmetal-navy blue with russet, coppery hues in the peripheries to give the legends a distinctive pop. Highly coveted outside of low grades, with the singular eye appeal of this piece certainly giving it a leg up on the competition.
