Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1768 LM-JM AU55 NGC, Lima mint, KM73, Onza-684 (dot between "ET" and "IND" on obverse legend). Well struck with light high-point wear and handling evidence within the confines of the designation, strong luster in the fields and good planchet quality. A well above average type coin for this modified bust type, most collectible and elusive in this engaging quality, the date also rated as rarer in both KM and Calico's La Onza as is indeed the case. Currently the second finest example certified of the date by NGC.
Estimate: 5000-7000 USD
