Guatemala
Charles IV gold 8 Escudos 1794 NG-M XF45 NGC, Nueva Guatemala mint, KM58, Onza-974. A problem-free survivor of this highly coveted three-year type, retaining bright golden surfaces, with a touch of reddish tone that touches the edges. Minimally marked for the grade, Charles IV's portrait is well-struck, with the reverse shield showing a touch of incompleteness in the centers. Several minor strike-throughs and laminations (both as-made) are also observed on the reverse, but these are noted only for the sake of accuracy, as they have little influence on the appearance and are commonly seen on issues of the period. As a date, infrequently available at any grade, and as the finest we've offered, a coin that should certainly excite the specialist.
