GUATEMALA. Silver Proclamation Medal, 1789. Nueva Guatemala Mint. Charles IV. PCGS AU-58.
Fonrobert-Unlisted; Medina-168; Herrera-145. By P. C. Aguirre. Diameter: 34mm. Commemorating the proclaiming of Charles as the king in Nueva Guatemala. Obverse: Garlanded and draped bust right; Reverse: Crowned coat-of-arms of Nueva Guatemala: armored knight, wielding sword, on horse leaping left over two mountaintops. INCREDIBLY RARE and enticing, this barely handled and entirely original medallic minor offers an attractive cabinet tone and a great deal of shimmering brilliance as well. Somewhat more commonly encountered in the real-sized module (Fonrobert-7189), though even that type is quite difficult. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
