Philip II 8 Reales 1591/0-(Aqueduct) MS66 NGC, Segovia mint, Cayon-4021, Cal-223. A magnificent gem whose mere existence almost staggers comprehension. Possessing an impeccable strike, resulting in a level of definition within the devices that is beyond compare and a gentle blonde iridescence that is beautifully veiled with a sift of textured ashen tone. The overstrike is blatant and almost over-pronounced, with pristine surfaces, and an overall appeal that make diverting the eye a herculean effort. Certainly one of the finest ever offered and quite possibly extant.
