Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1717 S-M AU58 NGC, Seville mint, KM260, Cayon-9959, Fr-247. By far the highest graded of only two examples certified by NGC or PCGS (the only other a VF30 PCGS), this elite offering shows a central but weak striking commensurate with the grade, and very limited actual wear. Extremely hard to come by particularly in this high technical grade, much original luster is evident across its surfaces and within recesses, the planchet of an attractive aged-gold color. An enticing representative of this popular large gold type.
