VENEZUELA. Venezolano, 1876-A. Paris Mint. NGC MS-63.
KM-Y-16. VERY RARE in any grade, and especially so in this level of preservation, the present crown-sized example possesses flashy cartwheel luster along with some darker toning near the peripheries on the obverse. When switching to the reverse, an intoxicating level of electrified cobalt and violet dominates, with just a light band of untoned surface area bisecting the intense palette. An exceptional chance at a New World crown with great character, and one that is exceeded in the NGC census by a mere two other pieces.
Estimate: $30000 - $40000
