GUATEMALA. 4 Reales, 1781-NG. Nueva Guatemala Mint; Assayer Pedro Sanchez de Guzman (P). Charles III. PCGS VF-25.
KM-35.2; Cal-811. A VERY RARE date; this example is the only one certified by PCGS. Rarity aside, this piece could stand apart on account of its eye appeal alone. The well-executed strike offers superior details on both obverse and reverse, particularly noticeable on the portrait and the castles and lions. Nearly perfect centering and elegant deep toning heighten the allure. Combining rarity with attractiveness that surpasses its grade, this piece presents a rare opportunity to collectors of the type.
