KM-51; Basso-55; PNM#6-80; PNM#16-44; PNM#21-VI-15; Cacho-VIII-CS-058; Gil-5-4-1-C. Type V Countermark, crowned F.7.0 within circular indent. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1832-PTS JL Bolivia Republic 8 Soles. We have only five examples of this date recorded (all 5-4-1-C variety) for all F.7.0 crown variations. A wholesome representative of the type with even wear and a deeply impressed countermark. The surfaces exhibit trivial marks and abrasions as would be expected for the designated grade mentioned for accuracy. This pleasing example displays mottled gray patina with richer coloration in the protected areas and crevasses adding to its originality.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
