Caracas, Venezuela, 4 reales proclamation medal, Ferdinand VII, 1812, General Monteverde, very rare, NGC XF 40. Fonrobert-7973; Herrera-8; Medina-268. 11.60 grams. Obverse with bust inside legend FERN.o VII . REI D. / LAS ESPANAS.; reverse with lion holding shield inside legend D. MONTEU.e LE PROC.o CAR.s CEP. 24D. 1812 DOM.o; plain edge. This is one of the most important issues of Venezuela, as it marks the brief restoration of Spanish rule there after the fall of the First Republic in 1812 to Captain General Domingo de Monteverde, whose name appears in the reverse legend. With rich, dark brown toning all over and no problems other than a characteristic die-crack and rim-cud on obverse, this is probably the finest example known of a reported population of less than fifteen.
