MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1762-MM. Charles III (1759-88). NGC EF-45.
Fr-29; Cal-type-13#73; KM-155. First year for the type and a better date of this mid-18th century issue that is far less frequently encountered than 8 Escudos from earlier in the century. A very handsome and compelling coin with exotic blue-green tone seen near the date and portions of the legend. A great strike and sharp rims, with very modest wear for the assigned grade. An all around superior example of the date and type. NGC EF-45.
From the David O'Harrow Collection.
Estimate: $3500.00- $5000.00
