Charles III gold 4 Escudos 1778 LM-MJ AU55 NGC, Lima mint, KM81. Attractively toned and choice for the designation with only slight friction evidence on the raised devices, highly lustrous fields with fewer than the expected handling marks and strongly defined details. A very elusive type, very rare in this handsome higher quality: Mint State examples of the type are unknown to the cataloguer, and only 4 coins have been certified in this grade by NGC, with none finer. A strong candidate for finest extant of the type, and very desirable as such.
Estimate: 2500-3000 USD
