VENEZUELA. 100 Bolivares, 1889. Caracas Mint. NGC AU-58. KM-Y-34; Fr-2; Stohr-51. Mintage: 10,000. Highly attractive for the grade, this near-Mint example presents a bold rendering of Simon Bolivar with accompanying surfaces that are minimally marked for this often highly abraded issue. The addition of warm orange-reddish tone rounds out the appearance, giving this piece eye appeal that is seldom rivaled for this type that is so frequently plagued by distracting marks. From the Oro del Nuevo Mundo Collection.
