Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1809 So-FJ MS63 NGC, Santiago mint, KM72, Fr-28. A highly scarce issue to encounter in this state of preservation (with only 1 example ranking higher in the NGC census), this pleasing issue exhibits bright fields which reach a certain watery finish towards the edges. While scattered contact and handling marks across the surfaces prevent a higher grade, and flan flaws are to be noted above the 8 in the date and the P in AUSPICE, there is nonetheless a peculiar allure that remains. Several light areas of rosy tone (around the bottom right corner of the crown and around the PIC in AUSPICE) add further character and make it all the more surprising that a coin of this age and prominence has survived as well as it has.
Ex. Millennia Collection (Goldberg's 46, 26 May 2008), Lot 992

Estimate: 5000-7000 USD
