Mexico
Philip V gold Cob 8 Escudos ND (1711-1712) AU53 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM57.1, S-M30. 26.95gm. A quintessential "treasure" coin, with strong central detail and engaging surfaces. The edge portions of the reverse are reminiscent of the cut facets of a jewel, alternately catching light upon rotation. A wonderful specimen for the collector of Spanish imperial gold. Ex. 1715 [Plate] Fleet.
