Tierra del Fuego (struck in Buenos Aires), Argentina, gold 1 gramo, 1889, Popper, large letters, NGC MS 63. Janson-7; KM-Tn5. Choice strike and rims, strong luster with traces of light rainbow toning, a one-year type (highly sought by numismatists) struck in Buenos Aires by Romanian-Jewish gold-prospector Julius Popper using gold dust found on the beach of El Paramo in the Patagonian peninsula. Popper's expedition, under the company name Lavaderos de Oro del Sud (Gold-Washers of the South), achieved a sort of autonomy, with its own army and coins and stamps, as well as a notorious "wild west" atmosphere replete with crime and abuse of natives. Popper died suddenly and mysteriously in 1893.
