Philip V gold Cob 8 Escudos 1735 L-N AU58 NGC, Lima mint, KM38.2, Fr-7. A wonderfully wholesome example, with an impressive strike for this normally crude issue, bold enunciation in the pillars and cross, and an interesting rupture in the flan giving the piece a charming old-world treasure feel. Difficult to procure without some sort of external defect and a requisite consideration for the Cob enthusiast.
