Republic bronze Pattern 10 Reales 1864 MS61 Brown NGC, KM-Unl., Pratt-M41. The silver pattern of these types is exceedingly rare and the bronze, which is unlisted in the Standard Catalog of World Coins, is even more so. The distinctive die cracks as are seen on the patterns in both metals, and demonstrate the conditions under which this obscure series was produced. The first of this type in bronze that we have offered, the strike is sharp and the patina is a rich, chestnut brown with lovely bluish-tinged purple overtones.
