PORTUGAL. 8 Escudos (Dobra), 1725. Joao V (1706-50). NGC VF-35.
Fr-84; KM-222; Gomes-134.02. Rich orange gold colored with surfaces that remain wholesome for the grade, showing no egregious signs of handling and bold, even detail everywhere except for a small area on the reverse where a few remnant planchet adjustments appear. RARE as a type and only the second example of this better date that we have seen offered in recent years, that example appearing in a 2010 UBS auction where it was graded "sehr schon-vorzuglich" (probably around AU quality by American standards) and brought 25,000 CHF hammer (approximately $24,000 USD hammer at the time).
Estimate: $10000.00- $15000.00
