Philip V gold Escudo 1747 Mo-MF AU55 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM113 ("Rare"), Cal-532. A well-preserved coin with slight wear on the higher points defining the grade, strong luster and the few surface contact marks expected for the designation. Extremely rare with three confirmed examples by the cataloguer, this being the finest seen (and the only one currently listed in NGC's census). Missing in Norweb, Gerber and Eliasberg and almost all other major sales that were reviewed. In fact, the cataloguer could only trace one offering in the past 35 years: the sale of this same coin as part of the Miguel Munoz collection in the early 1980's. As a final proof of the elusiveness of this final posthumous date of the type, the cataloguer notes its absence from the Banco de Mexico collection. As noted previously, the finest of three known, an immensely desirable coin with a great historical importance and a well-established pedigree. Ex. Munoz Collection (Superior 6/1981, lot 901)From The Rudman Collection of Mexican Coins
Estimate: 8000-10000 USD
