Chile. One Peso 1822 Santiago FI. KM-82.2, Eliz-87. A simply wondrous example of the ever popular Volcano type silver pesos of Chile struck from 1817 to 1834. On the obverse, a craggy ridged mountain volcano spews forth a ball of fiery smoke, while on the reverse is seen a liberty column topped by a shooting star. Very Choice Brilliant Uncirculated, exhibiting an excellent strike with fields covered in frosty mint luster and just a hint of light golden tone. Truly Rare in this state of preservation and among the finest one will ever encounter. We dare say that a date set of the volcano type pesos in condition similar to this coin would be more difficult to assemble than a set of US Bust Dollars in like condition. Perhaps a gallant collector will take up the challenge, but no matter, whoever wins this beauty will be utterly delighted. NGC graded MS-63.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
