KM-8.1; Jovel & Yonaka-Pg. 24 Type A. Variety with retrograde 4. Struck during the siege of San Salvador from March to October 1828. This crude short lived issue exhibits well-struck central devices with flatness near the edges missing most of the legends. Lightly toned with minor earthen deposits and verdigris on both sides account for the details designation adding a bit of character. Despite its shortcomings a charming and presentable example of the type that tells an interesting story. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
