Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1747 Mo-MF AU58 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM148, Onza-446. The very rare posthumous issue of Philip V. Close to Mint State with slight high-point friction evidence, good underlying luster and comparatively few surface contact marks. A most attractive example of this very rare date, obviously not as famous as the iconic Ferdinand VI imaginary issue of the same year yet probably as elusive. Less than fifteen examples have been noted by the cataloguer, with the present coin - currently the second highest of four coins certified by NGC - being among the finest. Eminently desirable in this engaging quality, and a highly important onza of the Mexican series.
Estimate: 8000-10000 USD
