An unusual grade for this very scarce or rare date. Superior to both the Amat and Patterson specimens and equivalent to the nice Haberthuer piece (SBC /1996, lot 2527). Ex. Ray Johnson collection (Freeman Craig 11/1982, lot 87 for $1,050). From The Isaac Rudman Collection of Guatemala Coins."

The four and eight reales from this mint are more common than the smaller denominations.
