Mexico
Charles IV gold 8 Escudos 1790 Mo-FM AU53 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM157, Onza-1016. Choice for the designation with highly lustrous surfaces, only slight high-point friction evidence and contact marks well within the confines of the assigned grade. An appealing specimen of the scarcer of two dates for this transitional type, better struck than the Rudman example and certainly elusive in this engaging preservation.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
