Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1776/5 S-CF MS63+ NGC, Seville mint, KM409.2, Fr-283. Superb for the issue with fully original surfaces, sheathed in satin and toned to a sublime harvest-gold color. The devices have benefitted from a superior strike, with only minor adjustments noted through the reverse shield and light planchet laminations in the King's hair. Closer inspection reveals a bold 6/5 overdate, while mint bloom traverses the surfaces, illuminating touches of copper at the rims. Given the coveted plus designation for superior technical quality, and absolutely worthy of that distinction.
