Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1808 So-FJ AU55 NGC, Santiago mint, KM72, Onza-1341. An absolutely charming example of the "imaginary" bust type exhibiting deep relief in the strike as well as brilliant golden fields with an exceptional tangerine peripheral tone. The scarcest date of this four-year issue, whose bust type was invented by necessity in response to lack of direction from Spain, a country suffering from tremendous political turbulence at the time.
