Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1763 Mo-MM AU53 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM155, Onza-745. A scarce type very rarely found in any condition approaching Mint State. Dubbed the "rat-nose" type, this particular example retains most of its original detail with only a slight, even wear limiting the fullness of detail at the higher points. The planchet is deeply toned, with an attractive honey-amber coloration prominent around the peripheries, which in conjunction with its well-centered strike results in a great beauty that would be difficult to match.
