VENEZUELA. Caracas. Real, 1820-BS. Caracas Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC VF Details--Holed.
KM-C-5.2; Stohr-10b. Variety without pearls on the reverse. Pierced, as are most examples of this VERY RARE date, with attractive pale gray color on the highpoints which are emboldened by the deeper surrounding tone. As a type, struck from 1817 to 1821, and far more difficult to locate than the 2 Reales of the same period. This example, when it appeared at auction in April 2015, brought $2,115 at that time.
