VENEZUELA. 5 Bolivares, 1889. Caracas Mint. PCGS AU-53. KM-Y-24.1; Stohr-49. As nice as one could possibly expect from a circulated example, this coin exhibits sharp detail over the designs with the addition of eye-catching green, yellow, red, orange, and blue tone in mostly concentric formation. Remnants of strong gleam in the field add to the already spectacular appearance.<p><em>The final year of the type, the 5 Bolivares denomination was not struck again until 1900, when it resumed with a similar design but with the mintmarks of Paris below the bust and amended wording on the ribbon below the coat of arms.</em> From the Centuria Collection.
