Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1771 LM-JM AU55 NGC, Lima mint, KM73, Onza-689. Exceptional quality for this beloved "rat-nose" type, showcasing absolute originality throughout, with eye-pleasing color and no disturbing surface marks. Perhaps most desirable is the strike however, each side possessing essentially full and even detail without even a hint of the planchet adjustments marks that are often seen running through the design centers. As such, likely one of the most desirable survivors of this date.
