VENEZUELA. Maracaibo. 1/4 Real, ND (1813). Ferdinand VII. PCGS FINE-12. KM-1. A <strong>RARE</strong> issue, crudely struck as is always the case, but thankfully free of damage and corrosion, with the obverse and reverse design details clear. A pleasing deep brown colored, this is a difficult type to locate to say the least.<p><em>According to new research, which included reading through many contemporary documents in Spains institutions, well-known collector Luis Ponte has determined the Maracaibo attribution (previously they were attributed to Santo Domingo as well) on this issue is incorrect, and that they were in fact struck in Cuba.</em> From the Centuria Collection.
