Argentina
Tierra del Fuego. Territory gold "Popper" Gramo 1889 MS65 NGC, Buenos Aires mint, KM-Tn5, Janson-7. Large Letters Obverse & Reverse. A superb gem example of this Latin American token, produced by Julius Popper, a Jewish Romanian-born Argentine adventurer referred to as a "modern conquistador." Lustrous and boldly struck with no distractions of any consequence. Tied for the finest example certified by PCGS or NGC to-date.
