Central American Republic gold 8 Escudos 1833 CR-F MS61 NGC, San Jose mint, KM17. Sun-gold and struck to uniform clarity of detail, this lustrous 8 Escudos represents a true treasure of the Latin American series, offering the iconic radiant sun, mountain, and Ceiba tree motifs in their full Mint State glory. Gold issues of the now extinct Central American Republic remain widely recognized and sought-after by collectors for their combined rarity and visual allure, and so the largest of these denominations, found uncirculated, marks a find of particular importance. The strike borders on full, with only minor instances of discernible weakness in the denomination and ground below, rich gold color demonstrated throughout the planchet and confirming the special quality in which this selection has been maintained for the better part of two centuries.
