Ecuador
Republic gold 8 Escudos 1839 MV-A AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, Quito mint, KM23.1, Fr-4. Some soft details in striking, but an otherwise sharp and charming representative with a very rich gold coloration to the planchet and light surface reflectivity. Despite the certification, this piece shows little evidence of cleaning, the sole marks worthy of note some vertical scratches to the obverse which quickly fade into insignificance. An engaging example of this popular Ecuadorian type.
Ex Eldorado Collection.
