WOW! A 1888 Gold!!!

[silversaver888]

I am so ecstatic!!!

I unexpectedly came across this gold piece, and it was dated 1888! Would you believe it?

I have never aspired to get a gold 1888 coin! But the gold coin crossed my path as I was browsing Ebay. So here it is...

It came in an envelope of stamps galore. BTW, Ralph Foster is local to me! He is just from Berkeley, California. So he wrote a note: DO visit us

It was a bit challenging to get the staples out. Or perhaps I was too excited. A 1888 gold coin!!!

The gold coin is as large as the 1/4 oz American Gold Eagle! It is 90% gold, weight 8.0g grams and is 22.12mm..

1888 Argentina 5 Pesos Gold Coin

As the seller described this coin: "AS THE PICTURES SHOW AN ARGENTINA 5 PESOS GOLD 1888 LUSTROUS RARE COIN--ARGENTINO DEPICTS LADY LIBERTY--A NO PROBLEM SCARCE RARE GOLD COIN -- one of the best gold bullion coin values. .2333 AGW."

Source

The edge is engraved with raised stars and letters in Latin and translated to mean "Equality before the law".

The obverse has the country's name in Latin with the coat of arms of Argentina. The reverse is Liberty with a cap. Both sides were engraved by Eugène André Oudiné.

This an excerpt an excerpt from Britannica.com

The country’s name comes from the Latin word for silver, argentum, and Argentina is indeed a great source of valuable minerals. More important, however, has been Argentina’s production of livestock and cereals, for which it once ranked among the world’s wealthiest nations. Much of this agricultural activity is set in the Pampas, rich grasslands that were once the domain of nomadic Native Americans, followed by rough-riding gauchos, who were in turn forever enshrined in the nation’s romantic literature. As Borges describes them in his story The South, the Pampas stretch endlessly to the horizon, dwarfing the humans within them; traveling from the capital toward Patagonia, the story’s protagonist, Señor Dahlmann, “saw horsemen along dirt roads; he saw gullies and lagoons and ranches; he saw long luminous clouds that resembled marble; and all these things were casual, like dreams of the plain.... The elemental earth was not perturbed either by settlements or other signs of humanity. The country was vast, but at the same time it was intimate and, in some measure, secret. The limitless country sometimes contained only a solitary bull. The solitude was perfect and perhaps hostile, and it might have occurred to Dahlmann that he was traveling into the past and not merely south.”¹

Wow! The country is Latin for silver! I think that I shall try to learn about Argentina and their silver coins. The 5 pesos gold coins are selling right now in Ebay:

I'm so grateful for this coin! I love it. I can stop pinning for a 1888 gold coin now that I have this 1888 Argentina 5 Pesos Gold Coin in my collection!

My growing 1888 coin collection!
