COSTA RICA. Central American Republic. 4 Escudos, 1828-CR F. San Jose Mint. PCGS EF-40. Fr-2; KM-16. Mintage: 3,048. A <strong>VERY RARE</strong> and desirable date for this lesser-seen minor denomination, and one that represents the first year of issue, the present piece offers a moderate degree of even handling upon the high points and with some enticing luster and tremendous originality radiating rather splendidly throughout. From the David Sterling Collection.
