Caracas, Venezuela, copper 1/4 real, Charles IV, 1805, retrograde 4, very rare, NGC VF 30 Brown ("top pop"). Cal-6; KM-C1; Stohr-2. 1.72 grams. Odd-shaped flan (with mint-made clip-adjustment on edge) showing lightly struck details (bottom of 5 of date too weak to read), desirably well preserved without the usual environmental damage, tied with one other for finest known in the NGC census (although the census does have an XF 45 without indication of the orientation of the 4), from a rare and popular series of copper cuartos (1/4R) and octavos (1/8R) struck in 1802-5 to alleviate a shortage of small coinage, effectively the first coins ever struck in Venezuela.
