Guatemala
Charles III 8 Reales 1766 G-P AU53 NGC, Nueva Guatemala mint, KM27.1, Cal-93. A visually striking example with light wear and a pleasing gunmetal tone. The pillar side is quite uniform in appearance, while the reverse exhibits several long adjustment marks across the shield and a few faint scratches between "HISPAN" and "ET". A rare date for this series, comparable to the 1761 and 1763.
Ex. Ray Johnson Collection (Freeman Craig November 1982, Lot 88)
