Potosi, Bolivia, 8 soles, 1859 FJ, with "Po. 400 Gs." below bust, very rare, NGC AU details / cleaned. KM-138.1. The rarest of several varieties for this date, with strong details and some original luster despite the cleaning, slightly off-center obverse, finest example we have seen and the first offered in several years, with much better strike than Lissner's census-topping MS 61. NGC #6442565-015. Pedigreed to the Bernal Collection (stated on label).
