Rio de la Plata gold 8 Escudos 1832 RA-P AU58 NGC, La Rioja mint, KM21, Fr-2, Chaves-757, Onza-1566, Janson-17. Another simply captivating and elusive La Rioja-minted sun-face rarity, showcasing an advanced aesthetic caliber that is easily recognizable, even from afar. Despite a certification on the verge of Mint State, ample residual luster engulfs the offering at hand, highlighting significant originality throughout at even the most subtle flick of the wrist. Just mildly cruder in its design and execution than the previous lot, rendering the facial features slightly more abstract, the piece remains charming and perhaps conservatively graded. Certainly a great rarity when located this fine and problem-free.
