Produced by International Currency Bureau, Ltd. (ICB) in London, this little-known issue was struck in an effort to gain a coining contract with this small Central American nation. That effort was ultimately unsuccessful however, leaving this unique sample, as well as others in a handful of other metals, as the only remnants of the attempt. ICB would not survive much longer as a company, its archives (including this coin) having been liquidated by Glendining Auctions in 1999.
From the Oro del Nuevo Mundo Collection.
Ex: ICB Archives (Glendining 5/1999) Lot # 145.
Estimate: $4000.00- $7000.00
