Up for immediate purchase is a stunning, high-grade Latin American silver crown: the historic 1900 Venezuela 5 Bolivares. This year features a low official mintage of only 270,000 pieces struck at the Paris Mint, making it highly elusive in high preservation states.
This premium specimen has been professionally graded and encapsulated by PCGS as AU 53 (About Uncirculated). In this choice grade, the coin retains much of its original mint luster and displays beautiful, crisp details on Simon Bolivar's portrait, the coat of arms, and the perimeter lettering, with only the slightest friction on the highest points.
Finding certified examples of this low-mintage year in About Uncirculated condition is difficult. With the current international boom and surging demand for Venezuelan numismatic rarities, this piece represents a fantastic investment opportunity for any serious world coin collection.
- Please Note: The PCGS plastic slab has a minor crack/scuff on the holder. This is purely cosmetic and does NOT affect the coin inside, which remains perfectly sealed and protected. Please inspect the photos carefully. Sold as-is.
