Caracas, Venezuela, 1 real, Year 2 (1812), very rare. KM-C26; Stohr-6. 2.09 grams. Off-center About Fine with weak centers but fully readable details, toning in legends, well-used hole at top. This is a very rare one-year issue, fewer than 20 known, that is effectively the first coinage of Venezuela's independence from Spain, the "19" on reverse referring to April 19, 1810, the day Caracas was abandoned by the Spanish general Vicente Emparan, within seven stars symbolizing the First Republic's seven provinces; most of the mintage was melted after the fall of the First Republic in 1812.
($1000-1500)
