Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1721 S-J MS62 NGC, Seville mint, KM315, Onza-517, Fr-247. Mint State and a choice representative of this highly coveted issue, this prize piece boasts a planchet imbued with full mint luster, resulting in a bright and crisp appearance; exceptionally sharp and centrally struck considering its production through a coin-rolling mill, every detail is prominently represented in high relief. The second highest certified example of this seldom seen and spectacular type - the highest certified, a MS63, sold at our auction 3040 April 2015 for $20,000 hammer - and altogether a beautiful specimen worthy of a premium bid.
