SPAIN. Gerona. Duro (5 Pesetas), 1808. Gerona Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC AU-55.
KM-10; Cal-Type 292#1201. A Peninsular War issue, struck in the year Ferdinand VII came to power and was promptly exiled to France by Napoleon. Premium quality, this example displays extremely bold stamps that are well placed on both sides and surrounding fields that retain some original luster that mixes with complimentary original patina. While somewhat available as a type, it is unquestionably RARE in this grade, with none reaching the Mint State tier at NGC or PCGS, and this being the single finest graded by NGC.
From the Avrabanel Collection.
Estimate: $750 - $1500
