Peru
Charles II gold Cob 8 Escudos 1699 L-R MS62 PCGS, Lima mint, KM26.1, Cal-10. Free of wear with some doubling in the design and incompleteness that mostly confines itself to the legends. A large die crack, unusual for hammered issues, is visible on the reverse and begins around 2 o'clock and runs diagonally across the surfaces to below the lion in the lower left quadrant. Very elusive as a date and especially so in certified Mint State.
