Guatemala
Ferdinand VI gold 8 Escudos 1755 G-J XF45 NGC, Guatemala City mint, KM19, Onza-552 (Extremely Rare). A phenomenal rarity within the colonial Guatemalan series, struck for a mere two years of which just a single example of this date grades finer in the NGC census, none currently awarded the Mint State designation. Wholly radiant and highly original in the margins despite clear wear in the central features, a raw example bringing the equivalent of $16,816 in Cayon's January 2018 Auction (lot 4024).
