ARGENTINA. La Rioja. 8 Reales, 1839-R. La Rioja Mint. NGC MS-61.
KM-8; CJ-56.1. A very pleasant example of this popular type with well defined design elements and attractive rich mottled gray patina with iridescent highlights amongst the devices. Signs of handling consistent for the grade with smooth surfaces and plenty of luster that pops out when tilted in the light. A lovely survivor of the type with good eye appeal certain to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
