SPAIN. 20 Reales, 1809-M AI. Madrid Mint. Joseph Napoleon. PCGS MS-63 Gold Shield.
KM-551.2. Exceeded in the PCGS census by a mere two examples, this immensely pleasing Napoleonic-era crown certainly dazzles the eye with a great deal of shimmering brilliance and a slight degree of rainbow iridescence near a portion of the peripheries. Issued the chaotic period that saw Napoleon install family and close friends in positions of power throughout his growing yet short-lived European territorial exploits.
Estimate: $1250 - $1750
