Costa Rica
Central American Republic gold 8 Escudos 1828 CR-F XF45 NGC, San Jose mint, KM17, Fr-1. Mintage: 5,302. A wholly respectable representative of the sought-after largest denomination of the Central American Republic, displaying what is often considered one of the most iconic and classic designs within the Latin American Republican series. The balanced and unobtrusive wear indicates to moderate handling in circulation, however the overall attractiveness of this piece is undeniable, owing to the twinkling residual luster behind the rays and the solid old-gold patination permeating the fields. An advantageous combination of the scarce availability and the immediately recognizable, historically evocative visuals have garnered this type a wide base of keen collectors, and we expect brisk bidder action thus.
