SPAIN. 80 Reales de Vellon, 1823-B SP. Barcelona Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC MS-63.
KM-562.2; Cal-Type 392#1642. A stunning example of this short-lived "big head" type, it displays bold details through the designs with highly reflective, nearly fully prooflike, fields. The addition of orange tone that delicately highlights many of the raised surfaces propels the appearance to rarified levels. Considering this, and the fact that only a single example has been graded finer by NGC, this coin is certain to attract heightened attention from seekers of premium and unusual types.
From the Avrabanel Collection.
Estimate: $2000 - $3000
