Peru
South Peru. Republic gold 8 Escudos 1838-MS AU Details (Cleaned) NGC, Cuzco mint, KM171. Despite the noted cleaning, still quite a lovely piece with only marginally subdued original luster. An attractive light rose-gold toning has developed in the recesses, especially in the surrounding legends on the obverse but discernable on the reverse as well.
