ARGENTINA. Buenos Aires Proclamation Silver Medal, 1789. Charles IV. PCGS AU-53.
Her-121; Med-121. Obverse: Cuirassed bust right; Reverse: Eagle above two ships, anchor below. Beautifully preserved, this fantastic representative exhibits a nicely detailed portrait in high relief with intricate design features on the reverse. The surfaces retain much of the original rough surfaces from the casting process with little in the way of actual wear. The rich gray patina is pleasing to the eye with a slight iridescent sheen that pops out when tilted in the light. Wholly original looking this survivor is quite a bit nicer than normally encountered and is sure to garner much attention from collectors.
