Central American Republic gold 4 Escudos 1837 CR-E AU55 NGC, San Jose mint, KM16, Fr-2. The issues of the Central American Republic continue to arouse the utmost enthusiasm with collectors, exhibiting the near-universal appeal of propound imagery coupled with the allure of acquiring what is undeniably a historical artifact from a now-extinct state. The gold issues of this fleeting republic, however, are unattainable for most collectors, being both scarce and of high value when encountered in even decent condition. This example achieves something near the pinnacle of what can be expected for the type, showing cascading luster which jumps across the rays of the sun, with an ever so slight rippling across the reverse fields surrounding the tree creating an enchanting antiquated feel that only heightens its charm. The strike is pleasingly balanced, with the legends and central devices seemingly fully rendered in the original strike, the very light circulation wear adding to a feel of authenticity while removing no meaningful detail.
