Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1760 Mo-MM AU53 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM153, Onza-740. Boldly struck with resulting strong relief to both Charles' bust and the other design features despite what is, admittedly, minimal circulation wear. The luster is charming for the grade and, coupled with a subtle amber tone that evenly graces the surfaces, yields an impression of quality and age that most other examples, of which there are few, could not hope to match.
