Argentina: Rio de la Plata 8 Reales 1826 RA-P AU58 NGC,...
Description
Rio de la Plata 8 Reales 1826 RA-P AU58 NGC, La Rioja mint, KM20, CJ-28. 6 laurel pairs variety. An awe-inspiring 8 Reales rarity from Argentina, distinguished both by its near-Mint State preservation and much scarcer 6 laurel pair variety. Struck slightly off center, yet bursting with comely pastels and warm shades of taupe, the 1826 emission marks the start an almost decade-long run of this classic sunface type. The finest of two certified by NGC and deserving of attention consistent with this fact.From the Grundy Collection of Latin American and Spanish Coins
