Guatemala (State), provisional 1 real, 1829M, very rare, NGC XF 45, ex-Garretson (stated on label). KM-75. 4.29 grams. For this year only, and only in this denomination, the Guatemala City mint struck coins with the legend ESTADO DE GUATEMALA on one side and MONEDA PROVISIONAL on the other, making for a rare type-coin that is critical to any important Guatemala collection (not to mention that it is the first post-Iturbide issue of Guatemala as independent from the Central American Republic but with the same central design as the CAR issues). This example, with only moderate high-point wear and partially crude rims (as made), toning around details but no luster, is actually among the finest known, a population that surely exceeds the "4 known" stated in KM. Pedigreed to the D.D. Garretson collection. NGC #4703646-006.
