VENEZUELA. 100 Bolivares, 1887. Caracas Mint. NGC MS-61.
Fr-2; KM-Y-34; Stohr-51. Yellow-gold in color with beaming luster in the fields. While somewhat available as a date, RARE and highly coveted in certified Mint State, with the manner in which these large gold issues were kept seldom qualifying them for a top tier designation. As such, a coin that is certain to be intensely pursued by the collector looking to set their holdings apart, as this highest denomination issue would remain unmatched by another circulating coin in Venezuela until well over 100 years later in 1998.
