Charles III gold 4 Escudos 1770 LM-JM AU58 NGC, Lima mint, KM71.2, Fr-29, Calico type 34, #275. Modified image of Charles III, with no denominated noted. Obv. Armored bust of Charles III. Rev. Crowned arms in order chain. The design was changed in 1768, from the "rat nose" portrait of Charles III (very elongated nose), to a shorter, more curved nose. This is an exceptional example of the very popular type. The strike is quite sharp, with abundant remaining luster. Extremely rare in this near-mint condition and the finest example of this issue certified by both NGC and PCGS combined.
Estimate: 13000-16000 USD
