Ferdinand VII 8 Reales 1810 So-FJ AU53 NGC, Santiago mint, KM75. An attractively toned example of this 'imaginary' type, featuring a more stylized rendition of Ferdinand. Given the remoteness of the colonial mints and the turmoil in Europe at the time, it wasn't immediately known exactly how to render the new king's portrait, so these earlier types convey the progression. Highly desirable in this state of preservation.
