Central American Republic gold 8 Escudos 1828 CR-F, KM17, Fr-1. AU50 PCGS. Pleasing old patina and well struck on a broad planchet. The first date of this very sought after type, long considered as one of the classic designs in the Latin American republican series. Albeit this is the more available date, it is also usually better struck and free from the planchet problems that seem to plague later issues. Therefore demand easily exceeds supply for specimens in desirable condition such as the present coin.
Estimate: 8000-12000 USD
