Spain
Charles III gold 2 Escudos 1788 M-M/PJ MS64 NGC, Madrid mint, KM417.1a. By far the highest certified example of the type by either NGC or PCGS. A gorgeous near-Gem, this 2 Escudos blazes with radiant mint luster, butter-yellow in its centers toned to a light pink in areas of the peripheries. Charles's portrait is boldly rendered by an excellent strike, remaining pristine with no wear nor contact marks whatsoever. Altogether, a piece worthy of the finest collections of Spanish gold through its marvelous eye appeal and technical grade.
