Philip V gold Cob 8 Escudos 1713 MXo-J MS61 PCGS, Mexico City mint, KM57.1, Calico-106, Fr-6. Some remaining luster, with the normal crude flan seen with these type 8 Escudos. The "171" of the date is easily readable, but only the lower curve of the last and telling digit of the date, '3', remains visible on the flan, as does the nearly full reverse cross, which is a two-year sub-variety (1712-3), with each "arm" terminating in cross-like fashion instead of with the typical bars. Very likely recovered from the 1715 Plate Fleet.
