Peru
Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1778 LM-MJ AU55 NGC, Lima mint, KM82.1. Some adjustment marks visible yet light on Charles's bust, a die break behind; in addition the reverse die appears rather worn giving a softer strike than usual. These numismatic quirks, however, add charm to this attractive colonial specimen. Aglow with subdued luster in the fields, an all-round fetching 8 Escudos and highly collectable.
