MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1811/0-MoHJ. NGC MS-63.
Fr-47; KM-160. Imaginary bust gold 8 Escudos from the Mexico City mint. They had a better imagination in Mexico City than they did in Lima where the imaginary portrait used wasn't even close. In any case, by the time this coin was struck, Ferdinand VII was already rotting in a French prison. A terrific example of the issue with good color, subtle coppery toning, bold detail and a clear overdate. NGC MS-63.
Estimate: $5000.00- $6000.00
