Ecuador
Republic gold 8 Escudos 1852/0 QUITO-GJ AU58 NGC, Quito mint, KM34.1, Onza-1772. A type seldom encountered in higher AU grades; even the Eliasberg specimen was an identically graded AU58. This piece has seen very light wear indicative of minor circulation, but in all other respects it appears Mint State with minimal bagmarks and abundant gentle luster. Sharply struck with a warm sun-yellow planchet, the peripheries toned to a light peach. An exquisite 8 Escudos of unbeatable quality.
