Ferdinand VI gold 8 Escudos 1759 So-J AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, Santiago mint, KM12, Onza-657. Variety with the king's name spelled out as "FERDINANDUS". A glittering example, sun gold in color, with bold legends containing a pleasing degree of original mint luster. The reverse shield displays a bit of weakness, often encountered with this type, though this is arguably made up for by a nice quality of strike surrounding those features.
