PERU: AR peso pattern, 1855, KM-Pn12, silver pattern from the Philadelphia Mint, quite attractive for the technical grade with fewer than expected contact marks and only mild wear on the highest points of the design, nice quality compared to other specimens of this rare pattern, only one graded higher by NGC (April 2016), NGC graded Proof 53, RRR. Historically important as part of the first series of foreign coinage struck at any United States mint, this very rare pattern marks the first attempts of the Peruvian Republic to issue coins under the decimal monetary standard and has been traditionally included in the Latin American regular crown series. One of only seven confirmed examples, many of which have been heavily impaired, and thus highly collectible in this pleasant quality, with only two certified by NGC.
