VENEZUELA. Caracas. 2 Reales, 1821-BS. Caracas Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC VF Details--Holed.
KM-C-6.2; Stohr-11b. Mint engraving error with Caracas spelled "CARCAS". Holed, as is commonplace for silver coinage from this period, with moderate gray surfaces that displays typical handling for the designation. The all-important "CARCAS" misspelling remains boldly evident, and should excite the collector intrigued by this magnificent spelling blunder.
