CHILE, Santiago, bust 8 reales, Charles III, 1773 DA, very rare, NGC VF 25 (Colección Val y Mexía Label), finest and only example in NGC census. KM-31; Cal-1207. This is the very rare and highly important first date of issue for this type, with only 27,000 coins minted (probably mostly melted) and now only five known, of which two are certified (this coin and a VF30 at PCGS). Lustrous fields, light toning at the rims (which are a bit crude, as made), the details with honest wear, in all a desirable example of a very elusive issue. Pedigreed to the Val y Mexía Collection.
