Description

(1688) American Plantations 1/24 Real, XF45
Rare Sideways 4, Newman 8-C

(1688) American Plantations 1/24 Part Real, Sidewise 4, XF45 NGC. N. 8-C, W-1175, R.7. A majority of surviving American Plantations 1/24 real coins are actually restrikes made in 1828. The present piece, however, is an original issue, struck circa 1688 under a royal patent granted to Richard Holt. It is the rare Sideways 4 variety; the errant digit near the arms of England. The reverse is paired with two obverses, N. 3-C and N. 8-C, the latter distinguished by weak definition on HIB REX. The spot-free silver-gray surfaces are attractive despite a lamination on the crown over the arms of Ireland. Listed on page 38 of the 2024 Guide Book.
