1889 5 Gram T.D.Fuego KM-Tn6 MS63 认证号33520405, PCGS号151585

One of two or three known examples. Julius Popper was a Romanian-born adventurer who traveled to Argentina during the gold rush of the 1880s. He put together a band of mercenaries, called "Lavaderos del Oro del Sud" (Goldwashers of the South), and traveled to Tierra del Fuego, where he discovered gold. While camped at el Paramo, Popper struck one and five-gram gold coins from crudely made dies. These pieces are incredibly rare today, with only a handful known of each denomination. The present piece was struck on a very crude planchet, probably fashioned out of a placer nugget, this unrefined gold contains a fair amount of silver, which has toned dramatically in shades of blue, green and magenta. Essentially as made. Ex-Eliasberg.
