Ferdinand VI gold 8 Escudos 1748 Mo-MF MS61 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM150, Onza-598. Almost fully struck, the high-relief design of this type presents itself with beauty and grace in this selection of enviable Mint State preservation. It is hard to find any fault with a coin such as this, whose features are exhibited with boldness at every turn alongside bright golden luster in the fields, unblemished by any larger instances of handling sometimes found at this level. Understandably, few examples meet the quality here demonstrated, with the result that the present coin remains uncontested as the finest certified of the type, tied with only one other example also seen by NGC.
