Description

Immensely Rare Guanajuato 20 Pesos

Republic gold 20 Pesos 1888 Go-R MS63+ NGC, Guanajuato mint, KM414.4, Fr-124. An incredibly elusive year for this Guanajuato 20 Pesos issue, the last example sold by Heritage Auctions was nearly 15 years ago in 2011 (Auction 3012, January 2011, Lot 25079). At that time, it was believed that this exact type had not been publicly offered for more than six decades. This flashy representative is one of just two to be graded by NGC, ranked as the "Top Pop" there with its lofty designation. This prize is a must-have for the Mexican collector seeking a more scarce and higher-quality issue.
