VENEZUELA. Tachira. Brass 2 Reales Token, 1872. NGC MS-66.KM-S2. Star beneath denomination on reverse. Local coinage for Tachira State, struck in the city of San Cristobal. A truly astounding survivor of this VERY RARE issue, brassy in coloration and highly lustrous beneath faint tone. The die cud, as struck, by the date that seems to be diagnostic of all examples of this variety is present and adds a bit of rustic charm to an otherwise magnificently produced token issue, evidenced primarily by the field reflectivity contrasting with needle-sharp devices. A rare opportunity for the specialist in Latin American Token and Regional issues.
