Charles III gold "Order on Chest" 8 Escudos 1761 Mo-MM AU55 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM154, Onza-743. Order-on-chest variety. Perfect for the grade, and high-end for the type, featuring a wonderfully bold and even strike, pleasing color over the surfaces and significant original flash around the protected legends. Perhaps most importantly, none of the marks that help define the grade draw the individual attention of eye, the result being an impressively balanced appearance overall. As a type, only produced during 1861, and given its scarcity in all grades, a coin that remains in constant collector demand.
Estimate: 10000-15000 USD
