Description

A Charmingly Well-Struck Example of the Type

Central American Republic gold 8 Escudos 1828 CR-F AU58 NGC, San Jose mint, KM17, Fr-1, Onza-1746 (Rare), Stickney-C102. Mintage: 5,302. An unusually well-struck piece for this largest denomination produced under the Central American Republic, most of those encountered (especially those in lower grades) suffer from uneven strikes and lack considerable detail in the sunface and around the Ceiba tree, particularly in the E of the denomination. The present offering contains design elements that project from the surfaces and a glassy texture that underlies a soft peppering of surface chatter. The central motifs over both sides, when viewed at an angle, appearing almost frosty. A reddened peripheral tone further rounds out the coin's eye appeal, creating an exceptional representative for the grade.
