The 1778 gold coinage of the Nueva Guatemala Mint.

Hello to all. Here is the first in a series of posts that will deal with the Charles III bust gold coins struck at the Nueva Guatemala mint. We will start with the first date of this series: 1778. The mintage figures that we will present were unpublished, so this post should help to understand the true rarity of these issues. Here is the link to the article:  Guatemala 1778 gold As always, comments are encouraged. I hope you find it useful. Regards to all.
