Republic 8 Reales 1859 Oa-AE MS61 NGC, Oaxaca mint, KM377.11, DP-Oa03 ("Rare"). "A" in "O" of mint mark. Die style of 1859-1860. NGC has mistakenly attributed this piece as having the "Eagle of 1859-1861", when this die style only ran through 1860. The characteristic 1859 die break of the obverse is plainly visible. Handsomely toned, with delicate scarlet auras on the legends of the reverse, and a restrained underlying luster. One of only four certified Mint State examples at NGC and a requisite piece for those in serious pursuit of a noteworthy Cap and Rays collection.
