PERU. South Peru (State of). 1/2 Real, 1837-CUZCO B. Cuzco Mint. PCGS MS-67 Gold Shield.
KM-166. An undeniable Superb Gem of this one-year type that boast an enviable full strike and pale gold and lilac tone over fully lustrous surfaces. Magnified inspection provides additional assurances of the quality, as only the most insignificant instances of handling determine the grade. Considering the wretched condition that coinage from this short-lived period of Peruvian subdivision exists in (most frequently heavily worn and often holed with incomplete strikes), this piece is a remarkable anomaly that is sure to stand out no matter the depth of the next collection it enters.
From the Matthew Orsini Collection.
Estimate: $1500.00- $3000.00
