Charles II gold 8 Escudos 1700 S-M MS63 NGC, Seville mint, KM233.3, Fr-218a. Dot after "II" variety. The single highest graded specimen of this variety by either NGC or PCGS. This one-year type encounters terrific popularity, a final issue of poor King Carlos II, nicknamed 'el Hechizado' (the Bewitched) for his numerous ailments stemming from the collapse of the Hapsburg dynasty. Centrally struck with a bold hand, abundant luster playing around the crisp devices imbuing a sun-like brightness to the planchet. A fortuitous combination of rarity, popularity and elite preservation renders this 8 Escudos a covetable offering which would be welcomed into even the finest collection of Spanish gold.
