GUATEMALA. 4 Escudos, 1794-NG M. Nueva Guatemala Mint. Charles IV. PCGS Genuine--Tooled, Unc Details.
Fr-19; KM-57; Cal-Type-155 #1447. A classic RARITY from the series, this Guatemalan type may number less than 10 in surviving examples. Overall greenish golden color pervades on the uncirculated surfaces. As PCGS notes, there is some light tooling, but not enough to eat into the legends or devices. This example may well be one of the best preserved survivors, with NGC never certifying a straight graded example higher than EF nor a details example higher than VF, and PCGS recording no straight graded examples. This example will go a long way to completing the Guatemala series.
Estimate: $10000 - $15000
