Owner's Description

Pedigreed to the Q. David Bowers Collection and previously purchased privately from John Kraljevich who indicated that it came from a hoard found in Haiti, which contained nearly exclusively Mint State eight reales from the mid to late 1780s. They may have been hidden in response to the slave revolt in 1791 that evolved into the Haitian Revolution. Reflective lustre with a touch of iridescent toning. Light marks account for the modest Mint State grade.
