PERU. Simon Bolivar/Liberator of Cuzco Silver Proclamation Medal, 1825. PCGS AU-53 Gold Shield.
Fonrobert-9205. Weight: 28.53 gms. Obverse: SIMON BOLIVAR LIBR DE COLOMB Y DEL PERU, uniformed bust right; Reverse: EL CUZCO A SU LIBERTADOR, native seated before Incan ruins; rising sun upon the horizon in background. Weighing slightly more than a standard 8 Reales, and perhaps used in commerce because of this, this slightly worn example depicts a wonderfully folky bust of Simon Bolivar on the obverse, while the reverse features a charming pictorial scene. Adding to the appearance are sunset-hued shades of orange, blue, and purple tone, which entirely engulf the reverse designs, adding an element of unique character to the appearance.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
