Madrid, Spain, steel trial die for Charles IV bust in 1/2-real size engraved by Gonzales de Sepulveda. 804 grams. Probably for a medal but with coin-design bust and no other details for the strike (hence a trial die and not a complete die), with engraver's name at bottom and Madrid mintmark with 1789 date at top, octagonal body (dark and rusty) but round face (lightly polished), undoubtedly scarce. Found in colonial Guatemala.
