Republic gold 8 Escudos 1834 So-IJ MS63+ NGC, Santiago mint, KM84, Fr-33. Mintage: 31,000. An immensely popular issue and the final date from the series, showing imagery of a radiant sun above volcanos. The surfaces are beautifully colored, with deeply golden centers surrounded by a halo of amber at the legends, highlighting the bold detail of the peripheral elements. The centers contain a touch of softness, which is rather common for the type, while both sides of the planchet radiate with rich, original luster. A piece that decidedly excites once in hand, and has been rightfully awarded the plus designation for its exceptional, top-pop technical quality.
