PCGS reports a mintage of 44,000 pieces, yet survival remains exceptionally low. This coin is the sole example graded by PCGS at MS-63, reflecting sharp details, radiant luster, and minimal contact marks—qualities rarely preserved in colonial gold after centuries of circulation and handling.
Its singular status and aesthetic appeal make it a cornerstone for advanced collectors of Spanish colonial coinage, embodying the final decade of Chile’s early gold issues before the independence era transformed the region’s monetary history.
