Ecuador
Republic gold 8 Escudos 1840-MV XF40 NGC, Quito mint, KM23.1, Fr-3. An admirable and wholly original piece, some slight evidence of rub on the high points yet with a pleasing expression of the design elements, and a beautiful golden radiance throughout. A rare and iconic issue utilizing the Lady Liberty motif rather than the later Bolivar bust counterparts.
