SPAIN. 1/2 Escudo, 1817-M GJ. Madrid Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC MS-61.
Fr-318; KM-492; Cal-Type 364#1486. Highly elusive in Mint State with only five examples seen between NGC and PCGS, the desirability of this issue is further heightened because it's the lone 1/2 Escudo issue of Spain struck during the reign of Ferdinand VII. Quite attractive, this example exhibits pleasing orange-gold tone with smooth surfaces that are free from noticeable marks. As one of the top graded pieces, this small gold type should be an offering of grand importance for the specialist.
From the Avrabanel Collection.
Estimate: $750 - $1500
