Guatemala
Ferdinand VII gold 4 Escudos 1817 NG-M AU55 NGC, Guatemala City mint, KM73. Very rare in this grade, and not often encountered at auction--an 1817 4 Escudos is offered perhaps once per year, but seldom in as fine a state of preservation as this. Rub is apparent on Ferdinand's cheek serving to define the AU grade; beyond this, however, the failings of this coin are few. The well-executed strike has left both appealing detail and abundant luster across the planchet, the entirety bearing a lemon-gold coloration, its brightness catching the eye. For the discerning collector of the Guatemalan numismatic series, few examples can match this offering for quality or preservation.
