Mexico
Guadalajara. Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1821 GA-FS MS61 NGC, Guadalajara mint, KM161.1, Onza-1205. Normal bust type. The single highest graded example of this extremely rare issue by either NGC or PCGS. Heralding from the final year of Spanish rule in Mexico and highly popular thus, emissions from Guadalajara are notably rare, essentially without exception, and generally appear in low-to-mid level grades. This piece, however, has been remarkably preserved in true Mint State, richly colored a honey-gold with superb striking detail and abundant mint luster catching the eye. The last comparable example of this Normal bust type we handled was graded AU55 and realized $22,325 in our August 2015 sale; four years and three grade points on, we have no doubt that this exquisite specimen will attract even stronger interest from the numerous collectors of Mexican colonial gold.
