ECUADOR. 4 Reales, 1855-QUITO GJ. Quito Mint. NGC MS-63. KM-37. Seppa/Anderson-EC64; Carr-59. A masterwork of artistry, this choice example is struck very boldly with a nearly perfect impression of details transferring from die to planchet. Golden-almond tones warm the argent surfaces and make this piece overrun with eye-appeal. Early Ecuadorian pieces are hard to acquire in Mint State, and this example is certain to be one of the more contested Ecuadorian lots on offer.
