Peru
North Peru. Republic gold 8 Escudos 1838 LM-M AU53 NGC, Lima mint, KM156, Fr-87. Dash between Nor-Peruano variety. Notable as a rare, one-year type, this specimen is well-struck for the issue and exhibits strong luster for the grade. For reference, the Eliasberg example (AU55 NGC) hammered for $8,500 in 2005. Thus, a scarce, singular emission that remains an important addition for the collector of Latin American Onzas.
