SPAIN. 80 Reales de Vellon, 1840-B PS. Barcelona Mint. Isabel II. NGC MS-65★.
Fr-324; KM-578.1; Cal-Type 190#705. Head and shoulders above all others seen, this sublime example exhibits fields that are near prooflike in appearance with motifs that display cameo-like contrast and are impeccably sharply for the issue, particularly within Isabel II's hair curls. Hints of alluring tone cling to portions of the edges, adding yet another element of attractiveness. Altogether, a sensational item, sure to be highly contested until the moment the hammer falls.
From the Avrabanel Collection.
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
