SPAIN, Kingdom. Isabel II. 1833-1868. Proof AR 20 Reales (37mm, 26.14 g, 12h). First Decimal issue. Madrid mint. Dated 1850 M CL. Bare head right / Crowned and collared coat-of-arms within wreath. O’Connor p. 118; cf. ME 17185; cf. Calicó y Trigo 170; cf. KM 592.1 (for business strike). Toned. In PCGS encapsulation 49713779, graded PR 62. Extremely rare in proof.
From the Alexander Christopher Collection.
O’Connor gives a rarity of R7 (fewer than 10 known) for high grade UNC examples. He notes proofs only for the variety without a dot below 2A in the obverse, and values that at $12,000. This example, which does exhibit a pellet, is undoubtedly even rarer and more desirable.
