Ferdinand VI gold Cob 8 Escudos 1747 L-V AU58 NGC, Lima mint, KM47. 27g. An attractive first-year issue of Ferdinand VI, bordering on Mint State, with no noticeable evidence of contact over the surfaces and full luster in the textured fields that sit beneath the raised design. The strike, perhaps the most important aspect of the eye-appeal on these issues, was accomplished far better than most, with a well-centered, minimally doubled design that was placed over a flan that is only slightly out of round. The combination of two dates and the legible titles of Ferdinand VI furthers the condition rarity and should make this piece particularly desirable to collectors specializing is cobs.
