VENEZUELA. Caracas. 1/8 Real, 1802. Charles IV. NGC Good Details--Environmental Damage.
KM-C-1; Stohr-1. Likely once buried like virtually all other survivors, this coin displays consistent granularity over the surfaces, however the date and denomination remain unmistakably visible. An exceptionally important and always-sought coin in Venezuelan numismatics, as it represents the country's first circulating coin.
