Description

Costa Rican 8 Reales Rarity

Central American Republic 8 Reales 1831 CR-F AU55 NGC, San Jose mint, KM22, Elizondo-2. A scarce one-year Costa Rican type from the San Jose mint, and one of the most coveted issues for both type collectors and specialists. The steely gray patina reveals some underlying shades of violet and lime that accentuate the devices, including the famed sunface motif. We anticipate spirited bidding consistent with the success of the Eternal example we offered just last year in the same grade.
