ECUADOR. 1840-MVA 8 Escudos. Quito mint. KM-23.1. MS-62 (PCGS).
Satiny luster and areas of reflectivity mingle over medium yellow gold surfaces, toned a bit deeper at the peripheries. Very well struck, with a full profile and complete sun face, framed by an arc of denticles atop the obverse and reverse. The rims are perfect, and the wide fields show no significant contact marks, just some trivial hairlines. An exceptional specimen of this very scarce issue.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
