Lot 1330 Guatemala, gold bust 2 escudos, Charles IV transitional (bust of Charles III, ordinal IV), 1790/80 M
Guatemala, gold bust 2 escudos, Charles IV transitional (bust of Charles III, ordinal IV), 1790/80 M, extremely rare, NGC AU details / cleaned, ex-Rudman. JP-2E34 var; KM-47 var; Cal-1251 var; Fr-unl. Well struck with full rims, light toning over luster but hairlines on obverse, reportedly one of only three known for 1790 but the first to be recognized with 9/8 for the penultimate digit (albeit without the ordinal IV/III noted on the label), unlisted as such in all references (and the date totally missing in Friedberg), an important coin for the specialist. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet (stated on label), with his original numbered cardboard holder.
